At a corner of "Plaza de Armas" and sided by the "Parroquia del Sagrario", stands the "Palacio Arzobispal", the official residence of the Archbishops of Lima. It was inaugurated in 1924 and was projected by the Polish-Peruvian architect Ricardo de Jaxa Malachowski, the same architect of the neighboring "Palacio de Gobierno". The neo-colonial building is ornamented with beautiful cedar balconies, a monumental baroque façade, many different entrances and, above the main gate, the coat of arms of Lima's Archdiocese is displayed. Inside, a magnificent staircase and important paintings related to Lima and Cusco's art schools. Guided visits are possible. Enjoy!

It is believed there was already a small chapel built on an Inca temple, which was used as an Indian Reduction at the end of the XVI century, building of the temple as we know it began in 1610, through the initiative of the parish priest Juan Perez de Bocanegra. In the interior are two beautifully painted organs that are considered the oldest in America. This majestic artistry is also reflected in the coffered ceiling of Mudejar influence, the mural paintings of Luis de Riano, paintings of the Cusquena School of Art, the polychromy of the ceilings and the triumphal arch that divides the presbytery and the main nave. Its baptistery retains the baptismal formula in Latin, Spanish, Quechua, Aymara and Puquina. The paintings which adorn the walls are framed by enormous mouldings of cedar wood and gold leaf.

We stopped here for a break on the coach trip to Puno. Wonderful to see the inside of this old church with all the golden gilded statues and alter.

It has a Renaissance style and retains more than beautiful 60 sculptures and 50 paintings of the Cusqueña School of Art, in addition to silverware, altarpieces and other movable goods. Built at the end of the XVI century and the beginning of the XVII century, the stunning murals of its interior cover the entirety of the ceiling and walls. The paintings, made by Tadeo Escalante, show the aftermath of human life, that is, the vision of death, the final judgment, glory and hell, defined by the union of Andean symbolism, its popular beliefs and colonial art.
