This
complex, made up of buildings constructed
by the Jesuits for religious and living
purposes, is a representative monument of
the seventeenth century religious
architecture (1660). The church itself
rises from the center of the buildings. It
was designed in 1573 by Gaspar Baez and
destroyed by an earthquake in 1584. The
current structure dates from 1650. Inside
you find sixty-six canvases from the
Cusco School from such artists as Bernardo
Bitti and Diego de la Puente. (PromPeru).
Located just off the southeastern corner
of the Plaza de Armas (Main Square).
Admission free - 9 - 12 pm & 3 - 6 pm.
