This church, whose construction was initiated by the Jesuits in 1576 on the foundations of the Amarucancha or the palace of the Inca Huayna Capac, is considered one of the best examples of colonial baroque style on the American continents.
Its façade is carved in stone and its main altar is made of carved wood covered with gold leaf. It was built over an underground chapel.
This church has a valuable collection of colonial paintings of the Cusco School.
