Cusco CathedralCusco Cathedral is a Baroque-style cathedral built on the foundations of the palace of the Inca Wirachocha in Cusco. Construction began in 1550, using many stones looted from the site of the hillside Sacsayhuaman fortress, and was completed a century later. It is considered one of the most splendid Spanish colonial churches in the Americas.
Koricancha and Santa DomingoThe combined sacred sites of Koricancha and Santo Domingo vividly illustrate ancient Andean culture's collision with Western Europe. The extraordinarily crafted Temple of the Sun at Koricancha was the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire, and part of the Dominican cloister has now been removed to reveal its architecture.
La Compañía de JesúsThe elegant Church of the Society of Jesus rivals the cathedral in grandeur. Like the cathedral, it was also built on the site of an important ancient palace, that of the Inca Huayna Cpac.
La Merced Church and ConventErected in 1536 and rebuilt in 1680 after the great earthquake, this Minor Basilica and convent has a beautiful facade, fine cloisters, and two famous conquistadors buried in the crypt.
Museo de Arte ReligiosoHoused in a handsome colonial palace formerly belonging to the archbishop, the Museum of Religious Art contains a variety of colonial religious paintings.
Museo InkaThe main draw of this archaeological museum is its collection of Inca mummies. The museum is housed in a splendid colonial mansion, which was built over an Inca palace.
San Blas ChurchThis simple adobe church contains an ornate 17th-century pulpit considered one of the jewels of colonial art in the Americas. It is hewn from a single tree trunk and dominated by the triumphant figure of Christ.
Santa Catalina ConventThe
Monasterio y Museo de Arte de Santa Catalina was built between 1601 and 1610 over the ruins of the ancient Acllawasi, the "House of the Sun Virgins." It has fine frescoes and a good collection of paintings.
