People who likes different kind of vacations close to the heritage enjoying the culture, traditions and folk art of the native from the Americas will have something old to discover in Oaxca Mexico by staying in an unique building that was made for another porpouse not an Hotel, it was originally build to be a Nuns Convent and then it was turned in to a Jail. I am sure that will find something mysterious between this walls.
Europe has castles converted into hotels, India has magnificent accommodations in what once were the palaces of rajahs, and Mexico has the Oaxaca Camino Real. Built in 1576 as the Convent of Santa Catalina de Siena, for nearly 300 years the corridors were tread by the dainty feet of the religious. They were ordered to leave during troubled times in 1862 and their former home converted into offices for municipal bureaucrats until 1972 when restoration began. The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) supervised interior decoration. Teams of experts undertook the task of restoring the frescoes that adorned the ancient walls. The floors were rearranged according to the original design and where possible artistic treasures of yore were repaired. No two rooms in the Camino Real Oaxaca are exactly alike, but all provide modern comfort in a Spanish colonial setting.
