Fodor's Review:

Close to the Plaza de Armas, this plaza is a more local hangout. There's not a lot to see, apart from an intriguing garden of native plants. More interesting, if you've wandered this way, is the church with its macabre sepulchers with arrangements of bones and skulls, some pinned to the wall to spell out morbid sayings. A small museum of religious art with paintings by Cusqueña-school artists Marcos Zapata and Diego Quispe Tito is in the church sacristy.

  • Cost: S/1
