Oaxaca

Panoramic view of Oaxaca city with Santo Domingo's church.
Oaxaca's colorful and culturally-rich historical city center, along with the archeological ruins of Monte Alban, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Oaxaca, which is built on a grid pattern, is a good example of Spanish colonial town planning. The centre of the city remains the centre of economic, political, social, religious and cultural activities that give dynamism to the city. It retains its iconic architecture and the buildings representative of a cultural tradition of more than four centuries of art and history. A total of 1,200 historic monuments has been inventoried and listed. The major religious monuments, the superb patrician town houses and whole streets lined with other dwellings combine to create a harmonious cityscape, and reconstitute the image of a former colonial city whose monumental aspect has been kept intact.
