The town's iconic Church of San Pedro y San Pablo dates back to the 16th century when it was built by Dominican missionaries. This colonial-era church boasts remarkable architecture and intricate details. Admire the Baroque facade and step inside to witness the beautiful frescoes and religious artifacts that showcase the town's deep cultural roots. Don't miss the chance to see the famous 16th-century fresco El Martirio de San Pedro, inside the main church. The fresco is a masterpiece of Mexican colonial art and is considered one of the finest examples of its kind.

Palace built in 1560 for the last Mixtec queen of Teposcolula (the town was a matriarchal society). This is a unique structure that shows a clear transition from indigenous Mixtec architecture to Spanish construction techniques. The eastern courtyard is reconstructed and you can see arches and balconies that are of obvious Spanish design, but with transoms and stonework that are of obvious Mixtec design. The site is of high historical interest yet little information about its context is provided. The building houses a local cultural center and children's library with book collections on history, art, and literature.
