This collection highlights the 1537 La Merced Monastery, the Mudejar-style architecture of the Carmen Temple, and the unique indigenous-Catholic synthesis practiced in San Juan Chamula. From the ornate 17th-century facade of Saint Domingo Church to the hilltop Iglesia de Guadalupe, these sites represent centuries of colonial history and diverse architectural styles ranging from Neoclassical to Baroque.
