Ruins
The ruins date mostly from the final two or three centuries before the Spanish conquest. At this time Mitla was probably the most important of the Zapotec religious centers, dominated by high priests who performed heart-wrenching human sacrifices. It’s thought that each group of buildings we see at Mitla was reserved for specific occupants – one for the high priest, one for lesser priests, one for the king and so forth.

Restaurant Doña Chica
Less than 100m from la cuchilla, bright and elegantly decorated Doña Chica serves straightforward, delicious Oaxacan dishes like moles, enchiladas and tasajo from an open kitchen. Good soups, antojitos, and salads cost M$35 to M$55, rounding out the careful menu. The restaurant also makes its own quality mezcal.
