This church is the most beautiful of Lima and its square, invaded by pigeons, gives it a false air of Venice. Its carved stone façade is worth the trip. On the right as you enter, a fantastic altarpiece overshadows the central altar with its gold. The chairs in the choir are carved from Nicaraguan cedar; the columns and vault are decorated with plaster reliefs. The library houses some 25,000 volumes. The catacombs, discovered in 1951, house the bones of nearly 70,000 deceased.

A quelques minutes à pied de la plaza de armas, cette église vaut vraiment le détour. La visite se fait avec un guide et on ne peut pas prendre de photos. J'ai surtout été impressionnée par la magnifique bibliothèque et par les catacombes. Le cloître est également très beau.

Le couvent et les catacombes sont magnifiques à visiter! Dommage qu'on ne peut pas prendre de photo ... les peintures murales ainsi que la bibliothèque sont impressionnantes! Je conseille d'y aller à l'ouverture ou en fin de journée pour éviter la foule.

La visite du monastère est obligatoirement guidée. Elle permet de voir un magnifique cloître aux murs couverts d'azulejos sévillans. La visite est aussi intéressante pour les catacombes découvertes en 1943.

L' église est gratuite le couvent est payant, le must est d'assister à des messes dans l'église ou des mariages très nombreux le week end et à toutes heures, les gens bien habillés et la multitude de familles, musiciens de visiteurs qui s'y mêle. Pour le musée couvent, les catacombes valent vraiment le coup.

Surrounded by the churches of Soledad and del Milagro, the San Francisco spent more than a century to be risen above steak: consequently, it was one of the few to support without damage all earthquakes. Its carved stone façade is worth the trip. On the right, a fantastic retable dedicated to Judas Tadeo, eclipse by its gold central altar. The chairs of the choir are carved into the cedar of Nicaragua; columns and vault are decorated with plaster reliefs.

In the centre this religious complex is to be visited first, the church and the monastery have azuleros, friezes, books...... without mentioning the catacombs
