Malo ochititsa chidwiwa amadziwika bwino kwambiri, makamaka, chifukwa cha kukula kwake kwakukulu.
Zomwe zidayamba kumapeto kwa zaka za zana la 16, zimasunga mawonekedwe achitetezo zankhondo zofananira ndi zomangamanga zachipembedzo za nthawiyo; Bishopu womaliza waku Oaxaca waku Spain, a Antonio Bergosa, adadziwa izi pomwe adalowa komweko kukana asitikali a José María Morelos panthawi ya Nkhondo Yodziyimira pawokha. Wachipembedzo wachingelezi a Thomas Gage, m'modzi mwa olemba mbiri ofunikira kwambiri m'nthawi yamakoloni, adatha kuwona kumaliza ntchito kwa zaka za m'ma 1620, ndikuwona kuti makulidwe amakoma ake amalola ngolo yomwe imakokedwa ndi ng'ombe kuti izizungulira, ndikuwonetsa mphamvu yayikulu yachuma ya ma Dominican aku Oaxaca. Kale m'masiku athu ano, wolemba mabuku wa Anglo-America, Oliver Sacks, pomwe amatenga nyuzipepala yomwe yangotuluka kumene posachedwa zaulendo wake wopita ku Oaxaca mu 2000, adanenanso zofananira: "Ndi kachisi wamkulu, wokongola ... wopanda inchi imeneyo si golide. Tchalitchichi chimapereka mphamvu ndi chuma, zaomwe akukhalamo ”. Kenako amadzifunsa yekha, monga munthu wamakono, mbali inayo ya ndalama: "Ndikudabwa kuti golide wochuluka bwanji uja anali kupezeka m'migodi ndi akapolo." Pomaliza, Sacks amayimilira komwe ndi ntchito yodziwika bwino kwambiri ya atsamunda ku Oaxaca: banja lodziwika bwino la polychrome, losemedwa mu stucco kumunsi kwa chipinda chomwe chimathandizira kwayala ya tchalitchi chino. Sacks akuti: "Pamtengapo pamakhala mtengo waukulu kwambiri wagolide, womwe nthambi zake zimapachikika olemekezeka onse m'bwalo lamilandu komanso tchalitchi: Tchalitchi ndi Boma zimasakanikirana, ngati mphamvu imodzi."
Pakatikati pa kachisiyo pali nave imodzi, pafupifupi mita makumi asanu ndi awiri m'litali, ndi zipinda zam'mbali mbali zonse, ndipo pali chapemphelo chophatikizika, cha Rosary. Chojambula chakuda chagolide chomalizirachi komanso cham'madzi chachikulu chimakhala chowoneka bwino, koma adaphedwa pakati pa zaka za zana la 20 kutsatira malingaliro obwezeretsa omwe French Viollet-le-Duc adachita m'zaka za zana la 19. Ponena za nyumba zakale zam'mbuyomu, chinthu chofunikira kwambiri ndi nyumba yosungiramo zinthu zakale yomwe imakhalako, yomwe imayang'anira ntchito zabwino zikhalidwe zaku Zapotec ndi Mixtec za Oaxaca. Chodabwitsa kwambiri ndichopeza kwa Alfonso Caso mu 1932 ku Tomb 7 mumzinda wakale womwe umadziwika kuti Monte Albán (womwe kale unkadziwika kuti Teutlitepec), womwe umakhala ndi zidutswa zagolide zokongola kwambiri, komanso zokongoletsera zamiyala yamiyala. zojambula bwino za alabaster ndi mafupa osakhwima osema, komanso mikanda yade ndi turquoise. Chodziwikiratu ndi zojambula zadongo, monga Escrib de Cuilapan, zachilengedwe, komanso mwanjira yapadera kwambiri ma anthropomorphic urns ndi braziers (nthawi zina amakongoletsa kwambiri), onse osayiwala zoumbaumba za polychrome.
Nyumba yakale ya amonke, ngakhale idakhala ya m'zaka za zana la khumi ndi chisanu ndi chiwiri, ikuwoneka kuti ndiyakale chifukwa chamayankho ake akale, monga tingawonere m'makonde a bwaloli, ndimakumbukiro azaka zam'mbuyomu, omwe mwina ndiwopatsa chidwi kwambiri ku nyumba zakale zakale kuti amasunga pafupifupi mawonekedwe awo apachiyambi. Chodziwikanso ndi masitepe omwe amalumikizira magawo awiri a chovalacho.
Nyumbayo yonse idalowererapo mzaka za makumi asanu ndi anayi kutsatira malingaliro a wopanga zomatchulidwayo Leduc, mkati mwa zomwe zimaganiziridwa kuti ndizoyenera kwambiri zachikoloni kuti zisinthe mbali zosowa za nyumbayo. Pomaliza, sitingalephere kutchula malo otseguka omwe amakhala patsogolo pa zovuta -convent and temple- ya Santo Domingo, yomwe lero ilibe kanthu.
