Fodor's Review:
First the site of the Inca Roca's Hatun Rumiyoq palace, then the juxtaposed Moorish-style palace of the Marqués de Buenavista, the building reverted to the archdiocese of Cusco and served as the archbishop's residence. The prelate still lives in one wing of the building, which, with its elaborate gardens, doorways, and arcades is worth a look. But it now serves as the city's primary repository of religious art, mostly Cusqueña-school paintings, many by famed artist Marcos Zapata. A highlight of the collection of religious art is a series of 17th-century paintings that depict the city's Corpus Christi procession. Many of the works in the museum's 12 rooms are not labeled. One of the bilingual guides will be happy to give you a tour. Their services are included in the admission price.
