NOTABLE
BUILDING IN OAXACA CITY, MEXICO
A
19th-century wonder of marble and murals, the State Government Palace occupies
the Zócalo's southern flank.
The large, very detailed stairway mural (1980), by
Arturo García Bustos, depicts famous Oaxacans and Oaxacan history, including
Benito Juárez, his wife Margarita Maza, José María Morelos, Porfirio Díaz,
Vicente Guerrero (being shot at Cuilapan), and the 17th-century nun and love
poet Juana Inés de la Cruz.
