Templo de San Jerónimo Tlacochahuaya, Dominican temple in San Jerónimo Tlacochahuaya, Mexico.
The temple features a Latin cross layout, with a continuous barrel vault ceiling and a prominent hemispherical dome at the transept intersection.
Dominican friars constructed the temple in 1558 under Fray Jordan of Santa Catalina's supervision as a meditation sanctuary away from urban centers.
Indigenous artists created murals and decorative elements throughout the building, incorporating local artistic traditions with Catholic religious symbolism.
The temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, located 25 kilometers southeast of Oaxaca City on Federal Highway 190.
The temple houses a restored 1739 tubular organ, the only remaining bellows organ in the region, integrated into the decorated walls.
