Comitán de Domínguez.

Inside the Culural House

The cultural city of Chiapas is Comitán. A city full of testimonies to its many centuries of history and replete with gardens. Walking through its streets means returning to its colorful past, while taking in the fragrance of its flowers. One should not neglect to visit the famous neighborhood of Seven Corners (las Siete Esquinas), a section with its own special characteristics, where many examples of the traditional culture of the natives of Comitán are preserved. Two of famous mexicans were born here, Belizario Dominguez (a politician who revolutionated the mexican senate during the Revolution in 1909 and the famous writer Rosario Castellanos, known for her sadistic style and defender of the indigenous rights).
