Welcome to Oaxaca
Oaxaca, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, was founded in 1529 by the indigenous Zapotec culture. Since then, the city center has been the center of economic, political, social, religious, and cultural activities that give the city its dynamism. It preserves many icons that represent a cultural tradition of more than four centuries of art and the rich history of indigenous cultures. Oaxaca is home to friendly people with many talents and a wealth of cultural events.

Santo Domingo Temple
Gorgeous Santo Domingo is the most splendid of Oaxaca’s churches, with a finely carved baroque facade. Most elaborate of all is the 18th-century Capilla de la Virgen del Rosario on the south side. The whole church takes on a magically warm glow during candlelit evening Mass. Santo Domingo was built mainly between 1570 and 1608 as part of the city’s Dominican monastery, with the finest artisans from Puebla and elsewhere helping in its construction.
