Museo Del Monastério De Santa Catalina De Siena

Cusco

Museo Del Monastério De Santa Catalina De Siena

Founded in 1601 in Arequipa, the Monastery of Santa Catalina was soon transferred to Cusco due to a string of natural disasters in the early 17th century. Today, it is a museum of monastic life and it hosts a collection of fascinating artworks that were discovered during the restoration of the monastery. The paintings housed here are an excellent example of the Cusco School, which blends the styles, stories, and influences of two cultures: the Inca and the Spanish. All the paintings are of a religious nature, displaying incredible technique and in some cases, are finished with decadent gold leaf.

Museum of Religious Art

Cusco

Museum of Religious Art

It seems fitting that the former home of Cusco's archbishop should now play host to the city's Museum of Religious Art. This godly mansion is home to a collection of religious colonial paintings and artifacts. But it's not just the art on show that makes the museum worth your time. You can sit and relax on a large Renaissance patio and admire the colonial architecture, as well as the twelve-angled stone, a national treasure Inca stonework that forms part of the Archbishop's Palace wall.

Church of the Society of Jesus: Entry Ticket

Cusco

Church of the Society of Jesus

Just like a prayer, this ticket will take you there. Enter the Church of the Society of Jesus and take a break from the bustling streets of Cusco. As a great example of Spanish Baroque architecture in Peru, the building is fancy-looking from the outside and is particularly special during the golden hour. Inside, feast your eyes on an ostentatious medley of glorious gold. The highlight has to be the statue of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception, which looms over the large central altar.
