Santo Domingo (Santo Domingo Cultural Center)


At the end ot the touristic corridor is found the church and ex-convent of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, an outstanding building.
This Temple, opened for worship in 1608, is one of the best examples of the Baroque style in Mexico with its extraordinary interior decoration of golden and polychrome plaster work. The splendid altarpiece of the main altar was made using gold leaf in 1959 by Oaxacan artisans. Today, the ex-convent has become the Santo Domingo Cultural Center who is called the State most important project on their kind.
