Iglesia de Santo Domingo 
Religious Sites, Oaxaca City
Fodor's Review:
With a 17th-century facade framed by two domed bell towers and an interior that's an energetic profusion of white and real gold leaf (typical of the Mexican baroque style), Santo Domingo is Oaxaca's most brilliantly decorated church, and an aesthetic trademark of the city. The interior of the dome is adorned with more than 100 medallions depicting various martyrs. Make sure to look up at the ceiling just inside the front door to see an elaborately gilded rendering of the family tree of Santo Domingo.
