Cuilapan

Cuilapan was founded by Dominicans during the second half of the sixteen-century. The first to build the convent was the Portuguese, Antonio de Barbosa, later substituted by Agustin Salazar, to whom most of the assembly is owed. The construction was suspended for The Royal Hearing, due to its location within the lands of the Marquis del Valle of Oaxaca. From the cloister, it is possible to access the southern courtyard, a space that corresponded to the convent garden. In this patio is a monument in honour of General Vicente Guerrero, hero of the Mexican Independence, that commemorates and indicates the place where he was executed on February 14, 1831, after being held prisoner in the capitulatory room of the cloister, where there is an oil painting of the insurgent hero.
