Santo Domingo in San Cristobal de las Casas, Dominican church in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico.
The Santo Domingo church features detailed stonework on its facade, incorporating intricate patterns and religious symbols across three levels of ornamentation.
Dominican friars initiated construction of the church in 1547, completing the original adobe structure by 1551 under the supervision of Bishop Francisco Marroquin.
The church houses eight wooden baroque altarpieces from the 16th and 17th centuries, including the notable Altar of the Holy Trinity with detailed carvings.
The church opens Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Sundays from 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
The pulpit inside the church stands out as it was carved from a single piece of golden wood, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship from the colonial period.
