About San Cristóbal De Las Casas
San Cristóbal de las Casas is a highland town in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. It's known for its well-preserved colonial architecture, such as the centuries-old, yellow San Cristóbal Cathedral on the Parque Central. Los Altos Museum, in the baroque former Santo Domingo de Guzmán convent, has regional history and textile exhibits. Outside the building, a market sells colorful weavings and other handicrafts.
