Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad

This beautiful basilica needs some restoration and some art snobs might critique some of it's art but to me it filled me with faith to see so many people at daily Mass and the simplicity and faith of the priests. If you want to experience real Latin American Catholicism, you'll find it here.

Beautiful colonial architecture on the outside. Well decorated on the inside. There's a museum there as well, but I only went inside the church.

A beautiful, extremely ornate basilica located just a few blocks from the zocalo and definitely off the beaten path when it comes to Oaxaca. Barely any tourists here and just a few locals. Definitely worth the 10 minute walk from the main square. Entry is free and there is a museum behind the church in case you're interested in more history of the place.

A beautiful basílica with a great view. There are often cultural events that happen here, the ends of calendas and I’ve even seen queer forms of expressive activism. This also a great spot to enjoy some tasty nieves.

Gorgeous cathedral with rich history. Very ornamental interior. They do mass in English on Sunday mornings.

Amazing work of architecture inside and out, nice little museum in the back full of religious artifacts. (Suggested donation for entrance to museum.)

Under restoration, museum currently closed. Still very nice looking place.

The church was close to my hotel and I noticed lots of activity on the Avenida Independencia which had been closed. The historic church was a beautiful place with an ornate exterior and interior. I later visited in the evening and got to experience a folkloric dance performance in front of the church in relation to the annual celebration of Our Lady of Solitude. All the food booths and pop up shops outside the church premises are not directly related to the church. The next morning there was celebratory fireworks around 6 am.

Not as famous or visited as the Catedral or Templo de Santo Domingo but this church is a must when you come to Oaxaca. Not as grand as the other two but still very impressive. The front is filled with colorful ice cream shops and locals enjoying this beautiful plaza. The Basilica itself is beautiful and very cool architecture. I really enjoyed the angels that are almost flying at you at all the corners of this magnificent holy place. We went to mass here and then enjoyed some incredible roasted corn with all the fixings.

Another beautiful cathedral in Oaxaca, the Basilica de Nuestra Senora de la Soledad is worth a visit if you're exploring Oaxaca. It was built between 1682 and 1690 in the Baroque style. It's beautiful and should be a part of your tour of all the cathedrals of Oaxaca if it's your first visit to the city!
