Introduction
The Church of Santo Domingo is Oaxaca's most splendid Baroque building and among Mexico's most richly decorated churches. Gilded inside, with domes and walls full of intricate sculpture and painting, it glows and amazes—especially the famous family-tree relief above the entrance. The adjoining monastery is now a cultural museum holding precious artifacts from Monte Albán. As Oaxaca's faith and art center, it is solemn and splendid. Dress modestly, keep quiet, and respect worshipers.
