Cusco Cathedral

A catherdal built in the 16th century though it was restored after the 1671 earthquake. It has many paintings throughout. Crypts can be found inside. The have many places showing joesph holding baby Jesus instead of Mary. They also have the grandparents of Mary. A uneso recognized site as seen by the blue and white symbol outside.

If you’re visiting this cathedral you might as well pay 2.5 euro extra to visit San Cristobal and the archbishop’s museum, the inca museum and some other places. The former has a bell tower with a nice view of Cusco and the latter has quite a few impressive pieces of art. No pictures allowed here.

Stunning cathedral with unparalleled in situ Escuela de Cusqueña works

Beautiful cathedral that you can visit in about half an hour without a guide. There is not much to read to learn about the place unfortunately. You got to notice the wigs they put to the statues!

I found it a little kitsch, even by baroque standards. The fake marble was a particular highlight. Staff tried to overcharge you so keep your wits about you. 40 soles is quite expensive entry fee all things considered, you’d do well to stretch out visit to an hour.

It was a good experience to see what the Spanish colonization did to the aboriginal people's places. The architecture is nice from the outside and inside as well. The highlight of the whole cathedral is the picture inside where Pizzaro is represented as the person who ruined the Inca culture. Thank you 🇵🇪

Nice church but the unique thing to see here is the last supper painting depicting cuy (guinea pig) as the main course, a one of a kind treasure by Marcos Zapata..

Wonderful histories! Don't miss the Last Supper with guinea pig on the table and countless examples of syncretistic art... Especially in the original side chapel Madonnas and the "black" Jesus chapel and story of it's annual use and relation to the earthquakes in 1650 & 1950. I LOVED the actual car covered completely in silver still used in Corpus Christi parades.
