Church of Santo Domingo
Iglesia de Santo Domingo
A colonial church facing a tree-shaded square, with a simple, elegant façade and an important stop on the Holy Week processions.
Built in the 17th century, the Church of Santo Domingo originally belonged to a Dominican monastery. Its white façade is paired with a red-brick bell tower, and the interior has a wooden ceiling and historic religious images. The Santo Domingo Park in front is planted with large trees and is where locals relax. It is also an important stop on the Holy Week procession. The church usually opens around Mass times, and admission is free. It is within a short walk of the cemetery.
