Fodor's Review:
Still an active Dominican convent, Santa Catalina has a 1610 church with high and low choirs and a museum with religious art. Ironically, the site represents the change of one group of chosen women for another: the convent was built on the site of the Acllawasi, the house of some 3,000 Inca chosen women dedicated to teaching, weaving Inca ceremonial robes, and service to the sun.
