For those who love libraries full of ancient treasures! It is indeed a unique place where 20,000 books are housed, which followed the conquistadors of the 16th century. Be careful, you can only enter the library for 15 minutes per hour. You can spend your time visiting the Franciscan convent. Built in 1648, it has four cloisters that are examples of colonial architecture. It houses two rooms of pre-Columbian art and a collection of beautiful mochica, chimú, vicús, chancay and paracas mummies.

Très beaux cloitres et salles d'exposition interessantes. Visite d'après midi nous sommes montés en haut du clocher pour avoir une belle vue sur la ville et les alentours. A voir si c'est possible de monter le matin, car il faut passer par le haut de l'eglise (messe?). A visiter pour un prix de 10 soles.

This imposing monastery built by the franciscans is worth the detour. Very beautiful architecture, the convent has a small museum of pre-Columbian art offering various objects of interest: ceramic masks fabrics objects of cultures huari etc.
Beautiful cloister dating back to 1648
Beyond this cloister, fauna amazionnienne toucans parrots lazy armadillos and spiders insects and butterflies
Given the ridiculous price, a visit recommended
