MEXICO ~Oaxaca Churches - UNESCO ~

... Nice views of a picturesque city full with many colonial-era buildings and significant archeological sites... the Basilica of Our Lady of Solitude, the Santo Domingo church and former convent are all excellent examples of Oaxacan religious architecture from the colonial period, but Santo Domingo de Guzmán is the most outstanding and one of the landmarks of the city... considered by many to be one of the finest examples of Dominican architecture in Mexico and built on a grand scale... the formerly monastery grounds of the Church is now home to the Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca and displays a wide variety of cultural artefacts and offers visitors a glimpse into the region’s rich history and culture... Thanks Alonso!【ツ】

Oaxaca de Juárez, or as it’s commonly referred to as Oaxaca, is the capital and the biggest city of the state of Oaxaca, which is in the Southwestern Mexico, nestled in a fertile valley at 1,550 meters above sea level.

The city, together with the nearby archeological site of Monte Albán, was designated in 1987 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
