Description
A beautiful vaulted hallway runs aside the courtyard at Santiago Apóstol.
The unfinished monastery of Santiago Apóstol is situated in the town of Cuilapam de Guerrerro, in the state of Oaxaca. The monks of the Dominican order came to Oaxaca in 1528 and started erecting monasteries and churches in order to convert the indigenous people. This monastery was the largest in the region and that shows that the settlement was a significant cultural and political center of the Mixtec people. Characteristic details of Gothic, Renaissance, Plateresque and Moorish architecture were applied on the complex.
