The beautiful churches of Cusco, Peru

Hello friends,

Today I will share with you some impressions from the beautiful churches of Cusco, in Peru. We have already visited one church, the Church of Santo Domingo, in previous posts.

The next church I visited was the Church of San Blas (Iglesia de San Blas). The greatest wealth of this church is its paintings, its magnificent altar and, especially, the famous baroque pulpit made from a single piece of cedar and  considered the finest example of wood carving made in Colonial America (1).

My last stop was the Cathedral (Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin). The cathedral's construction began in 1559 on the foundations of Kiswarkancha, a previous Inca temple, and was completed in 1654, almost a hundred years after construction began. 

The Spanish built the church in a Gothic-Renaissance style, similar to that used in Spain (2).

Eventually, the sun set and night came. In Cusco though, you don't need to go to a church, to feel the presence of God. The white statue of Jesus is towering above the city, and all you need to do is look up.

And that's the end of today's post. I hope you liked it, and that you will follow me to the next one. Have a good day, and we will speak again soon!
