From time to time we look at old photographs of colonial monuments from our archives. In this post we show shots of the venerable Dominican priory of Santiago Cuilapan, taken on our first trip to Oaxaca in 1966.
Although far from comprehensive, they do document the high points of the complex as it was then, essentially little changed from its appearance today over fifty years later.
