❖Plaza De Armas, Andahuaylillas,Peru, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
< Previous Plaza Manco Capac, Aguas Calientes, Peru The immense Plaza de Armas is surrounded by leafy pisonay (or coral) trees and palm trees. It is considered one of the most beautiful plazas in the region. A few kilometers from here is the town of Huaro, where witch doctors are said to have resided during the Inca era. Andahuaylillas is a Magical Town in the South Valleyof the Quispicanchi district, located approximately 45 kilometers from the city of Cusco. |
It is part of the South Valley circuit on the tourist route.Its fertile countryside, its attractions, and other climatic factors served as a setting for colonial times. Proof of this are its large mansions that reveal the wonder of the place.
There is a magnificent colonial temple whose murals are by Tadeo Escalante (1803), one of the last masters of the Cusco School. |
The church is Saint Peter The Apostle Church. It is interesting that when you enter the church, on the left is the Baptismal Font where the Incas were converted to Catholicism. On the right, opposite the Baptismal Font, is a large oil painting depicting a soldier beheading John the Baptist. I saw symbolism in this: The Incas had a choice to go to the left (and convert) or to the right (to be killed).
