HISTORIC CENTRE OF OAXACA AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF MONTE
ALBÁN
Once the center of the Mixtec
and Zapotec civilizations, Oaxaca is a combination of pre-conquest,
colonial and modern influences. Some of the many sites in
the city?s historical downtown include the main plaza, the government palace,
the Cathedral of Oaxaca and the city market, as well as some of Mexico's most
ornately decorated churches. The area?s main attraction is the archaeological
site of Monte Alban, one of the most impressive
burial places in the Western Hemisphere.
