It is on…read moreone end of the Andador Turistico which is a pedestrian only street where the other end is the Catedral Metropolitana de Oaxaca Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. The interior is visually stunning as it's just full of gold from top to bottom. The most impressive part is the ceiling mural that has tons of figures and other symbolism.

The front area is a spot where calendas often happen which is a fun celebration. It's a must-see church when you're visiting Oaxaca.

I also sat for a wedding ceremony here (not planned it just happened lol) I was completely amazed when I walked in and saw the inside especially the altar. All of the detail from the ceiling to the floor, to the doors it's all overwhelming and humbling. The art and entire architecture is breathtaking So much history (good and bad)

But what I enjoy most is not the church itself but the tree outside. They're called bombax or coquitos, right now these trees are flowering so it's a beautiful scene, with all the fluffy & hairy pink flowers & no leaves at all.

Mass was about to begin so I had to be mindful & respectful of taking photographs. It has a pretty large shaded plaza where if you don't want to enter the church or attend Mass you can sit & reflect.
