The Iglesia de Santo Domingo in Lima is a captivating blend of Baroque and Renaissance architecture located in the historic heart of the city. Its intricate façade, adorned with wooden carvings and stone reliefs, draws visitors inside to discover its ornate interior. The church's nave boasts gilded altars, frescoes, and stained glass, creating a serene atmosphere for reflection. The chapel dedicated to Saint Rose of Lima and a collection of religious relics are notable highlights. Adjacent to the church is the Santo Domingo Convent, featuring beautiful cloisters with Moorish-style tiles. This historic site is a must-visit for its architectural beauty and cultural significance, offering a glimpse into Lima's rich history and spirituality.
Worth visiting. On going restoration at the bell tower. Some parts of the convent are turned into a museum. The church is a bit lower than the road level. The facade has basic design, lacks grandness compare to the churches of other comgregations within the historic center. The interior of the church beautiful but is a bit dark. Poor lighting. Has a prominent ribbed vaulted ceiling similar to the one at the cathedral. The relics of San Martin de Porres, Sta. Rosa de Lima and San Juan Macias can be found at the right side retablo.
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!
A must-see in Lima. Full of rich history. It is the location of the signing on Peru's independence. Most importantly, it is home to 3 Catholic saints who have shaped Lima. There is so much history and beautiful architecture here. I recommend for non-Catholics too it has so much to see. You also get to go to the top of the bell tower to see the view of Lima!
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.
We stumbled onto this place by accident and we're glad we did! It's HUGE! Gives us a perspective of the money the Spanish spent on spreading Christianity in those days (Spanish conquered only for that reason unlike other imperialist empires). Some interesting features were the crypts, huge cathedral, and a very old library.
