Former Convent of Santo Domingo
A 16th-century building, listed on May 6, 1972, in the National Catalog of Historic Monument Properties. It was included in the classification of Historic Monuments on November 24, 2000, by the National Institute of Anthropology and History, under the decree declaring the city of Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas, a zone of historic monuments, and it lies within perimeter “A” of the Historic Monuments Zone of Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas, contemplated in the National Catalog of Historic Monument Properties.
It is an architectural gem that holds far more than aesthetic appeal.
