Oaxaca
architecture is praised internationally, as a fine example of a colonial city,
surrounded by beauty, where modernization has not altered its historical
monuments.\
Many of
the historic buildings in Oaxaca are worthy of mention, but the
loveliest and most visited are those in Oaxaca's historic center.
Its
colonial charm has led to recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The visit
should begin at Oaxaca’s Cathedral, where construction began in 1535, taking
just nineteen years to complete.
The Baroque style of the building changed
over later centuries, with additions and new chapels, transforming it into the
grand building it is today.
It is also home to invaluable jewels of religious
art.
