Basilica and Convent of Santo Domingo, Lima

Beautiful and historic, the Convent is rich in appointments, articles, paintings, and sculptures. Well worth an hour or so visit. And glance at one of the oldest libraries in the world. The gardens are beautifully kept and inspiring. One room was all about Mary and Jesus as a child. Another room had a very short doorway, so my daughter went in and took some pics. Must have been a crypt since one of the pictures she took was a window into a circle of bones. One large mural of an angel was a popular spot to take pictures. Maybe to see how you might look like with wings. Of course we had to do it also.

I liked the way the tourist guide showed us the history of this convento a lot of people was buried there and you will feel some vibe if you are a sensitive person there is also the remains of Santa Rosa de Lima and San Martin de Porres our very own saints the restrooms are very clean by the way

Worthy to spend time and visit the tomb of Santa Rosa and St Martin de Porres. I recommend to come here.

Beautiful old monastery and basilica with one of the oldest libraries. The building also has the crypt of Sta Rosa where you go down a very narrow staircase not good for very or chunky people. It has beautiful courtyards and very well restored/preserved overall. There are so many things to see including interesting paintings.

The convent is incredibly beautiful and has a rich history. It's definitely worth a visit to learn more about the colonial past of Lima.

Slightly surprised and how interesting this was. We briefly joined a Spanish tour in order to go up to the top of the tower which gives you a beautiful view of Centro Histórico. Lots of steps (4 or 5 steep flights, I think?) if you do this though but worth it if you're able

Absolutely stunning tile work and gorgeous architecture. Historic convent with connections to three different saints. Library with many precious and rare books. Arched walkways and beautiful courtyards surrounded by elaborate tiles and religious paintings. Lovely plants and flowers with many quiet spots to admire the surroundings. So many fantastic tile patterns on the walls and floors!! Not to be missed!

Very beautiful catholic church. Right in the heart of Lima, in the historic center. Amazing architecture and nice surroundings. Highly recommended for a visit.
