Santo Domingo Church Mexican Baroque. Oaxaca
Majestic, magnificent, unique, the temple of Santo Domingo de Guzmán rises above the center of the city of Oaxaca carrying on its ancient walls a long history.
The Dominican order began construction of this complex in 1570. Its sober baroque style, which is notable in its façade where its most notable element is the portal of the temple, of three main parts and finishing which shows an Hipólito in bass relief handing over the Oaxacan diocese to Santo Domingo. Above the window of the choir loft can be seen the shield of the order and the representations of the theological virtues.
The interior decoration of the temple, made fundamentally of polychrome and gold plated plaster, is one of the most important examples of the Mexican baroque style; in the first vault is the exceptional genealogical tree of Santo Domingo de Guzmán.
The chapel of the Rosary deserves a chapter of its own. It was added in the 18th century and its golden vault has a virgin in the center is surrounded cherubs and the figures of the apostles. The altar, where an image of the virgin namesake was placed is no less baroque than the rest of the decoration.

Oaxaca, Mexico
Oaxaca City is located in Mexico's southern region in the middle of a zone surrounded by four valleys. Behind the valleys lie three important mountain ranges, which keep the climate mild with an average temperature of 18º C (64º F).
In this city, the capital of the state of Oaxaca, you can admire the beautiful architecture of the buildings in the Centro Historico (Historic Center), which was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. The edifices include la Catedral (The Cathedral), el Templo y ex Convento de Santo Domingo de Guzman (The Temple and Ex-Convent of Saint Domingo de Guzman), la Basilica de la Soledad (The Basilica of Solitude) and el Teatro Macedonio Alcala (The Macedonio Alcala Theater), among other magnificent colonial and 19th-century constructions. As you visit the main plaza, the numerous establishments surrounding the Historic Center, and the traditional markets, such as Benito Juarez and 20 de Noviembre, you'll find all kinds of crafts that come from various regions of Oaxaca. Among the most popular crafts are the colorful alebrijes, swords, wool garments and beautiful black pottery. At some of the more traditional places you can try the delicious local fare, such as tamales, mole dishes and Oaxacan cheese. Another favorite is Oaxaca's famous mezcal, a regional alcoholic beverage made from the maguey plant.
In the city's surrounding areas, you can visit archaeological zones Monte Alban and Mitla, pre-Hispanic capitals of the Zapotec and Mixtec people. If you visit the town of Santa Maria de Tule, you can marvel at the famous Arbol del Tule (Tule Tree). What's more, the magnificent natural scenery at Parque Nacional Benito Juarez and the spectacular fossilized waterfalls at Hierve el Agua are certain to impress you. All of these places are relatively close to Oaxaca City, one of Mexico's most charming cities.

OAXACA MEXICO - TOUR AND TRAVEL VLOG
Oaxaca is one of Mexico's most unique states, noted for its rich traditional heritage and diverse ethnic population, as well as for its artistic, cultural, and culinary treasures. This video will cover the many sights and UNESCO World heritage sights to photograph in this region.
1. Oaxaca City (7:23 - 9:35)
Designated UNESCO Site noted for its Spanish colonial architecture. It is filled with colorful, wonderfully preserved
buildings.
2. Markets (8:18 - 8:23)
Oaxaca is known as the Land of the Seven Moles, a complex sauce used with meat and rice. But that is not all. Oaxaca is renowned for its unique regional cuisines. The markets are a great way to try the food.
3. Mezcal Factory Tour (2:06 - 2:50)
Mezcal is one of Oaxaca's most famous exports. It is similar to tequila, only with a rich smoky flavor. Mezcal comes in many unique flavors and different aging categories including a variety that comes with a worm for added flavor. Check out the Mezcal Factories where they will show you just how this liquid gold is made.
4. Textiles (1:14 - 2:00)
Oaxaca is world famous for its textiles. They are created using natural dyes and wool. The textile patterns mimic the design elements from the Mitla, an archeological site with distinctive geometric patterns, making them distinctive from any other textiles.
5. Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzman (7:36 - 8:00)
Glorious Baroque church found in Oaxaca City. It includes lavishly ornate interior. Construction started in the 16th Century but did not complete until the 17th Century. The town cathedral is witness to all the cultural activities taking place beneath its facade, including weddings and festivals.
6. Árbol del Tule (0:40 - 1:10)
Botanists estimate this tree to be 2,000 years old. It is considered the largest and oldest tree in the world with a perimeter at 139 feet in circumference. It didn't even fit into one picture frame!
7. Hierve de Agua (3:50 - 4:30)
One of the most surreal landscape I have ever seen is Hierve de Agua, found about two hours outside of the city. The name translates to place where the water boils, and contains non-thermal pools, and natural rock formations rising form the valley below including the main highlight, a petrified waterfall. It was created by minerals that pushed through limestone, depositing onto the mountain. You can hike to the waterfall or wade around in the mineral pools.
8. Zocalo and Basilica of Our Lady of Solitude (8:23 - 8:36)
The Zocalo is the central plaza in Oaxaca City that includes a Spanish Baroque style church, Basilica of our Lady of Solitude. The Zocalo is connected by a pedestrian walkway to the other plaza, Santo Domingo. Along the Zocalo are many street shops and markets.
9. Mitla (2:30 - 3:46)
One of the famous archeology sites which translates to place of the dead. Mitla was an ancient burial and funeral ritual site for the Zapotec people, one of Oaxaca's indigenous groups. It includes one of the few surviving temples, noted for its distinctive small tile mosaic-like geometric patterns in the facade.
10. Monte Albán (6:00 - 7:28)
Monte Albán is so amazing, that it deserves its own blog post (coming soon). It is a UNESCO World Heritage site found about 20 minutes outside of the city. It is the first great city of Mesoamerica and dates back to 500 or 600 BCE. The Zapotec people leveled the mountains by hand (no metal tools or even wheels) to build their ceremonial center known as Monte Albán here, complete with temples or astronomical and religious purposes. Mitla and Monte Albán give you an idea of just how advanced this indigenous civilization was in its heyday.

Photo tour: Beautiful Mexico
Stunning beaches, colorful colonial towns, jaw-dropping canyons and a rich cultural heritage define the United Mexican States, or Mexico as we commonly call it. Pictured here is the Cenote Ik-Kil near Chichen Itza on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
The skeleton is a regular motif in Mexican folk art, with a history dating back to the Aztec Empire.
In the heart of Mexico City's historic center sits Zocalo Square, home to the Presidential Palace and Metropolitan Cathedral. The square occupies an entire city block and ranks among the largest squares in the world.
The colorful colonial city of Puebla boasts some 70 churches in its historic area alone. Mountains and volcanoes set a stunning backdrop and offer abundant outdoor pursuits.
The Agua Azul Waterfalls, whose turquoise waters come from the confluence of the Shumulja, Otulun and Tulija rivers, represent one of the most picturesque sights in the Mexican state of Chiapas.
Located in the state of Puebla, Ex-Hacienda de Chautla was established as a vast grain farm during the 18th century. Eulogio Gillow, one of the hacienda's owners, built an English-style residence on the property that earned the nickname El Castillo. Today, it operates as a cultural and recreational center.
Guanajuato, capital of the state of the same name and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of Mexico's most colorful cities. Irregular and winding alleys and staircases create a maze-like web of diversions, perfect for getting lost in leisurely exploration.
Mexico is famous for its Mayan ruins, but perhaps none are quite as well known as Chichen Itza. This UNESCO World Heritage site was listed among the New Seven Wonders of the World.
The island of Cozumel has become one of Mexico's most popular cruise ship ports - an island of beautiful beaches (Punta Este Beach pictured) and even better diving and snorkeling just offshore.
Ballet Folklorico, Mexico's traditional folk dance, features large troupes of dancers in colorful costumes typically accompanied by a mariachi band.
Laguna Bacalar, located in Costa Maya in the state of Quintana Roo, measures more than 37 miles long and has a white sandy bottom that makes it perfect for swimming.
El Arco, or The Arch, is the most recognizable landmark in Cabo San Lucas.
Equal parts colorful and relaxed, San Miguel de Allende has all the visitor-friendly trappings of a big city in a small and easily explorable package.
In downtown Campeche, cobbled street upon cobbled street of colorful colonial buildings fill a walled city by the sea.
No matter where you go, you likely won't eat poorly in Mexico. In Cozumel, the cuisine is characterized by fresh seafood prepared with Mayan, Spanish and French influences.
Founded in 1680, the church of San Francisco Javier de Cerocahui dominates the skyline of the tiny village of Cerocahui.
Cerro de la Silla, or Saddle Hill in English, offers a distinct natural landmark in the backdrop of the city of Monterey.
Founded by the Dominican Order in 1570, the former monastery and current Church of Santo Domingo de Guzman in Oaxaca is considered one of the most beautifully ornate Baroque churches in Mexico.
The U.S. has the Grand Canyon, and Mexico has Copper Canyon. Located in the state of Chihuahua, this natural wonder offers opportunities for zip lining, rappelling, rock climbing and hiking amid spectacular natural scenery.
Aside from the misunderstood Cinco de Mayo, Dia de los Muertos is one of Mexico's most famous holidays. The Day of the Dead is celebrated throughout the country, but particularly in the Central and South regions.
During Dia de los Muertos, families set up altars, orofrendas in Spanish, in homes and cemeteries. These colorful altars are often covered in sugar skulls, food items and alcohol as a tribute to the departed.
Mexico is famous for its cenotes, large subterranean swimming holes formed by the collapse of limestone bedrock. Pictured here is Dzitnup Cenote, a popular place for swimming and snorkeling located near Valladolid.
Located at the southern edge of Mexico City, Xochimilco is a popular weekend escape famous for its network of canals and fleet of colorful boats, calledtrajineras.
Mexico's Magdalena Bay near Los Cabos is home to El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve, one of the best places on the planet to observe grey whales who migrate from the Arctic to the Sea of Cortes to mate and give birth.
Much of Mexico's most famous spirit, tequila, is produced in the region surrounding Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city. Driving through the countryside in the state of Jalisco means passing through fields of blue agave, the native plant used to distill the world famous spirit.
In the Marietas Islands within Banderas Bay, travelers will discover one of the world's most beautiful and unusual beaches. The stretch of sand known as Hidden Beach was formed by a collapse in the island's volcanic rock and is only accessible via a cave carved out by the sea.
