Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán
The Church and Convent of Santo Domingo de Guzmán in the city of Oaxaca de Juárez is an example of New Spanish Baroque architecture. The first construction projects for the building date back to 1551, when the Antequera de Oaxaca's City Council ceded a total of twenty-four lots to the Dominican Order for the construction of a convent in the city. However, it was not until 1608 that the conventual complex of Santo Domingo was inaugurated, still unfinished.
