This monastery houses several interesting works by painters from the colonial period, including paintings by Manuel Gumiel

This monastery of the Discalced Carmelite order was founded in 1665 by Archbishop Fray Gaspar de Villarroel, with the help of nuns from Lima. He imposed strict rules for the living conditions in the convent. The building, built with a single nave and with several side altars, has a harmonious architecture. It houses several interesting works by painters of the colonial period, including paintings by Manuel Gumiel.

Une visite très agréable qui permet de découvrir ou redécouvrir la vie des jeunes filles dans ces lieux religieux.

Couvent immense qui retrace la vie (difficile pour ne pas dire horrible) des jeunes filles "élues" pour y passer le reste de leurs vies. Il y a beaucoup d'oeuvres d'art mais il manque tout de même des "meubles" pour pouvoir se glisser davantage dans la peau de ces filles. Il y a des visites en français (mais il faut venir en avance car cela se fait par groupe). Pour prendre des photos, il faut payer en plus (1 ticket par appareil photo !)
