Church of the
Society of Jesus
The Church of the Society of Jesus is a historic Jesuit church in Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, in Cusco Region, Peru. It is situated in the Plaza de Armas de Cusco, the city center. It is one of the best examples of Spanish Baroque architecture in Peru. The architecture of this building exerted a great influence on the development of many Baroque architecture in the South Andes. Its construction began in 1576, but it was badly damaged in an earthquake in 1650. The rebuilt church was completed in 1668.
Saint John The Baptist
in Huaro
The Colonial Temple of Huaro, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, belongs to the Baroque style. There are murals inside used during the evangelization process and signed in 1802 by the Cusco artist Tadeo Escalante. He was the highest representative of Cusco mural art from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is a true wonder of mural art. The murals are approximately 3-4 meters long by 2 meters high.
Casa O'Higgins
Casa O'Higgins is a colonial-style building located in the historic center of Lima, specifically located in Jirón de la Unión, a few meters from the Plaza de Armas of the Peruvian capital. It bears that name because it was the house where the Chilean military and politician Bernardo O'Higgins spent part of his youth.
Canincunca
Chapel
The Canincunca chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Candelaria was probably built at the beginning of the 17th century for the purpose of evangelizing the indigenous populations. It stands above Urcos lake on a significant pre-Hispanic site. The inside of the chapel contains an Andean Baroque iconography such as representations of viscachas and a representation of the Virgin of Candelaria.
Saint Peter the Apostle
of Andahuaylillas Church
Saint Peter the Apostle, Church of Andahuaylillas, is also known as the "Sistine Chapel" of America because of the magnificent frescos adorning its walls. Andahuaylillas is a small town located 45 km away from Cusco. The church, probably built on an ancient Inca site at the end of the 16th century, is covered with magnificent murals.
The Basilica Cathedral
of Lima
The Basilica Cathedral of Lima, otherwise Lima Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in the Plaza Mayor of downtown Lima, Peru. Construction began in 1535 and completed in 1649. It is dedicated to St John, Apostle and Evangelist. There are 14 side chapels, one of which opens on to Calle de Judíos (Street of the Jews) and another on to the Patio de los Naranjos (Square of the Orange Trees, connected to the Cathedral). At the rear are two more entrances: Santa Apolonia and San Cristóbal. Set on the front facade are sculptures of the Apostles and in the middle, the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Adjoining the Cathedral are the Parroquia del Sagrario (one of the oldest ones in Lima) and the Archbishop's Palace.
Archbishop's Palace
of Lima
The old Archbishop's Palace was built on the place the Limean cabildo had occupied from 1535 to 1548, when that institution moved to its current location across the square. The current building was designed by the Polish Peruvian architect Ricardo de Jaxa Malachowski, who used the Torre Tagle Palace as a reference point. Erected joined to the Cathedral of Lima, the location formerly belonged to the city's first police station and the city's first jail. After Pope Paul III designated this temple as the primary church headquarters of the city, the location became the current location of the Archdiocese.
Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions
of the Riva-Agüero Institute
The Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions of the Riva-Agüero Institute of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru is a space in where the community is reflected and serves as a learning place for it. The Museum currently has one of the most important ethnographic collections in Peru, with more than 10,000 pieces, from the most diverse sources and materials. These pieces have been collected since the second half of the last century and reinforce the character of the search for the safeguarding of the intangible heritage of our native peoples, which the museum has maintained since its inception.
