Celebrated for
its unique folk arts, distinctive cuisine and Spanish colonial
ambience, Oaxaca has long been a favorite destination for visitors
to Mexico.
From the baroque
temples of the city of Oaxaca to the domed chapels that grace
the smallest village, the colonial churches and their treasures
are also a source of surprise and pleasure for the traveler.
This selection
of web pages on Oaxaca, researched and created by Richard Perry,
author of the guidebook Exploring Colonial Oaxaca, describes some of
the hidden colonial gems of the region as well as exploring less
well known aspects of the more popular monuments in the region.
