Templo de Santo Domingo. This is Oaxaca City's main church, which was constructed between 1570 and 1608 as part of the city's Dominican monastery, and built on the site of a former Zapotec temple.

You'll find the Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca inside the adjoining buildings to the Templo de Santo Domingo. Both the church and the museum are located about a 10-minute walk north of the Zócalo.
