More of Lima

Old historic Lima has various styled buildings that all tell a story. From slave trade to Catholic domination and Inca resurgence.

We walked the streets of old Lima and visited the San Francisco de Asis Convent. The oldest catacombs in South America. Under the church there are vaults that hold the bones of more than 25000 people. It is a beautiful convent and has a library that has more than 25000 books of theology, history, literature and other artistic works.

The church is beautiful.

Next the catacombs…

The impressive library…
