This 16th century church is part of a strict convent. You can usually get in for mass around 6 or 7 am. It is worth making the effort as it is one of Peru's most bizarre churches.
This church and monastery dating from the 16th and 17th Century, is more austere than many of Cusco’s other churches, but does have a large collection of paintings and a well carved cedar wood choir.
