Franciscan Recoleta Monastery
Location:
Recoleta 117, Arequipa
Arequipa, Peru
Cultural Tour
One of the most impressive historical monuments in Peru, the Franciscan Recoleta Monastery dates back to 1648. As a museum it offers a microcosmic overview of the two dominant cultures that shaped Peru. One of these is pre-Columbian, featuring Nazca, Chavin, and Chancay pottery, stones, and mummies. The other is the legacy of the Catholic church, with an extensive display of religious art and its Franciscan library, with no less than 20,000 books. In the three-and-a-half centuries since its creation, the Recoleta Monastery has been rebuilt and renovated following various earthquakes that impacted the region.
