Description
Although the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzman isn't the cathedral in Oaxaca, my personal preference is this is the most beautiful church in the city. Or at least of the ones I saw during my rambles there. I just loved those great bell towers and the tight baroque facade amidst the old rambling church and convent.
I kept finding my path lead me back here throughout the day. Like all of the plazas in the city on New Years Day, there was a steady stream of people enjoying the beautiful day. And that was my favorite part of this particular image of the church, giving a sense not just of the colonial heritage of Oaxaca but including the people who call it home. It's not just a tourist stop, after all.
Note: The historic center of Oaxaca de Juarez is a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site due to its concentration of Spanish Colonial Architecture as seen here.
