Catedral Metropolitana de Oaxaca

This is Oaxaca’s main Catholic cathedral. Construction started in 1535 but the church wasn’t officially completed until 1640. There’s been a lot of reconstruction over the years due to damage from earthquakes, but you can still see the original clock that was a gift from King Fernando VII and an 18th-century pipe organ. Dress modestly and try to visit during the week when it's less crowded.
