Abstract

Resumen: Tres complejos monásticos de gran envergadura se construyeron entre 1535-1580 en la región llamada La Mixteca; son los monasterios de Santo Domingo Yanhuitlán, San Juan Bautista Coixtlahuaca y San Pedro y San Pablo Teposcolula. Los dominicos encargaron estos ambiciosos proyectos a arquitectos y maestros constructores traídos de España a México. Los conjuntos monumentales fueron planeados de forma que se usara la tecnología más avanzada del momento creando edificios monumentales para aquella época. Este estudio intenta presentar las particularidades de estos edificios desde el punto arquitectónico y constructivo enfatizando el ejemplo de la capilla abierta de Teposcolula.
