San Pedro and San Pablo.
Spanish Baroque.
Jesuits. The church is nicknamed the Sistine Chapel of America because of the frescos that adorn its walls. St Paul's interior is over-the-top Spanish gold-leaf Baroque, but the artworks reflect both Spanish inspiration and local influences. There's no space that isn't decorated or filled with a painting. The people in this district are mainly indigenous citizens of Quechua descent.
The building is regarded as a World Monument.
Approx 1570 - 1629.
