Worth visiting. Beautiful church. Usually open. Free entrance. Has a museum at the convent. Taking pictures are not allowed so as all the churches within Cusco. Touring around the church is being discouraged when the mass is ongoing. Has a beautiful red neoclassical retablo..different from other Cusco churches. Has a different orientation.. the main retablo facing the direction of the cathedral and parallel to the main road.

Wonderful colonial courtyard in the heart of Cusco. Definitely recommended! Most tourists just pass by the nondescript entrance. Don't make the same mistake. The entrance fee for students is 8 SOL for full payers 15 SOL. However, it is worth it!

Church and adjoining convent. Some baroque details inside and bell tower. No photos allowed inside.

This church had a gorgeous courtyard that made for beautiful photos and was worth a visit! It was 20 soles for the entrance fee. I visited during a morning and was the only person there which was very peaceful.

Stunning architecture, and an impressive collection of ecclesiastic art.

Great place for people watching I enjoyed the bulletin boards filled with bizarre images.

The architecture and facade were elegant. Since Sunday worship was taking place, I could not go to the altar. However, I could feel big dignities even from the entrance of the church.
