Monasterio de Santa Catalina
Santa Catalina Convent
The most visited building from the Spanish era of the city. Described as a city within a city, this beautiful place with its colors, flowers and little streets will make you feel like you are back in time. Quite close to the Plaza de Armas. The guides speak many different languages; ask at the desk to the left after the entrance. The guide will tell you about the history of the convent and the life of the nuns in the convent. You can also do the tour by yourself at your own pace: there are helpful descriptive signs in Spanish and English in all the rooms that contain mostly the same information.
Daily 09:00-18:00 (Tue until 19:30), closed Good Fri, Dec 25 and Jan 1S/45, foreign students up to 21 S/25, other discounts only for Peruvians. An optional one-hour guided tour costs S/20 per person
