Fodor's Review:

The building may be on the dark and musty side, but this San Blas museum has a remarkable collection of religious art. Originally 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 primary repository of religious art in the city, many of the paintings in the collection are anonymous but you'll notice some by the renowned indigenous artist Marcos Zapata. A highlight 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 so you may want the services of a guide.

Cost: S/10 or Boleto Integral
Open: Mon.-Sat. 8-6, Sun. 10-6
