Santo Domingo Church Complex, Oaxaca
One of the highlights of our stay in the city of Oaxaca was our visit to the large and
beautiful Santo Domingo church and its former monastery which has been converted into the
excellent Regional Museum of the State of Oaxaca.  From the Zocalo it was about a ten
minute walk up a pedestrian street to the Santo Domingo Church and Monastery.  The church
was very large and beautiful;  the adjoining museum was first class.  Below are a few photos
taken during our visit.
