MEXICO, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Kathedrale , 19387/12204
San Cristóbal de las Casas is a town and municipality located in the Central Highlands region of the Mexican state of Chiapas. It was the capital of the state until 1892, and is still considered the cultural capital of Chiapas.
The municipality is mostly made up of mountainous terrain, but the city sits in a small valley surrounded by hills. The city’s center maintains its Spanish colonial layout and much of its architecture, with red tile roofs, cobblestone streets and wrought iron balconies often with flowers. Most of the city’s economy is based on commerce, services and tourism.
Schon von Weitem leuchtet die Fassade der im Jahre 1528 erbauten Kathedrale von San Cristóbal de las Casas, dem wohl bekanntesten Bauwerk der Stadt, in knalligem Rot und Gelb. Sehr markant ist auch das große hölzerne Kreuz vor dem Gebäude.
