On the plaza, the pretty apricot-yellow Iglesia de Santo Domingo dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries, and sports unusual and handsome blind arcading on its tower. Its former monastic buildings next door are now the Centro Cultural Rosario Castellanos, which has a pretty wood-pillared patio featuring a mural on local history.
