Oaxaca City, UNESCO World Heritage: Santo Domingo de Guzmán, Cathedral, Basilica Nuestra Seniora

Oaxaca de Juárez (Spanish pronunciation: [waˈxaka ðe ˈxwaɾes]), or simply Oaxaca (Valley Zapotec: Ndua), is the capital and largest city of the eponymous Mexican state of Oaxaca.The city, together with the nearby archeological site of Monte Albán, was designated in 1987 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Elevation 1,555 m (5,102 ft) Monte Albán is regarded as the historical antecedent of the modern city of Oaxaca.The Plaza de la Constitución, or Zócalo, was planned out in 1529 by Juan Peláez de Berrio. Throughout the colonial period, this plaza was never paved or had sidewalks; it had only a marble fountain installed here in 1739. This was removed in 1857 to make way for the bandstand, and trees were planted. In 1881, the vegetation here was rearranged, and in 1885, a statue of Benito Juárez was added. It was remodeled again in 1901, and a new Art Nouveau bandstand was installed.Oaxaca Cathedral, also referred to as Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, is the third to be built as the first two were destroyed by large earthquakes in the 16th and 18th centuries. The church and former monastery of Santo Domingo de Guzmán is located 4 blocks north of the cathedral. It was constructed between 1555 and 1666. It is divided into two parts: the church and the former living/working areas of the monks. The front of the church is Renaissance-style, in the central relief, Saint Dominic and Hippolytus of Rome are holding up the church. After La Reforma around 1860, the church was converted into a stable, which caused severe deterioration of the building. It was returned to devotional use at the end of the 19th century.
