Just ahead on Alcalá you are going to have the privilege of visiting one of the great monastery-church compounds of México, the splendid Church and ex-Convent of Santo Domingo, seat of the Dominican order in Oaxaca since the 16th century and now the only residence out of the more than 40 that existed originally.
Culture Center of Santo Domingo (Regional Museum) of the State of Oaxaca located in the Ex-Convent of Santo Domingo on Alcala between Gurrion and Berriozabal. It is an excellent regional museum covering the period from nomadic hunters to high pre-Hispanic civilization represented by Monte Alban (its apex was 300-800 A.D.).
