Iglesia y Convento de la Merced
Location:
Manta 121
Cusco, Peru
Museum
The Church and Convent of Mercy was originally built in 1535, making it one of the oldest religious institutions in South America. It was rebuilt after an earthquake took it down in 1654, and is still host to the white-robed Order of Mercy priesthood. The impressively designed courtyard and select rooms, all filled with centuries-old religious art (including a 16th century-old menorah), are open to general public. The wall murals were originally reproductions of Catholic iconography from the order's home in Seville, Spain, and they include what may be considered a very controversial depiction of the Virgin Mary. This is essential touring for appreciating Cusco's colonial past.
