The Temple and Ex-Convent of San Juan Bautista is a beautiful Dominican complex completed in 1576.
It consists of a church, a cloister, an open chapel, and a courtyard, forming one of the most distinctive examples of 16th-century New Spanish art and architecture.
The main entrance of the church is made of quarry stone and has a Renaissance style, adorned with 32 niches on each side. The interior features Churrigueresque-style altarpieces and a beautiful main altar with gold filigree work. The open chapel displays Mixtec elements such as serpents and eagles.
