Currently, both buildings coexist in a single structure.

15. The mean church:

Cusco Cathedral

It is the most impressive monument of colonial architecture, it was built by the

Spanish architect Juan Veramendi in 1560 on the Suntur Wasi, former palace of the
Inca Wiracocha. This wonderful example of colonial architecture in the Baroque
style was built with stones taken from the walls of Sacsayhuaman. The Cathedral is
located on the northeast side of the Plaza de Armas of Cusco. The monument is a
mixture of several colonial architectural trends; the main altar is covered with
sheets of pure silver, the choir is carved in front of the altar and is a masterpiece of
wood carving. It houses a beautiful collection of more than 400 canvases and a
custody of 120 cm high and 27.7 kg of weight, made of solid gold and embedded by
331 pearls, 263 diamonds, 221 emeralds, 89 amethysts, 43 topazes, 5 sapphires
and 1 agate.

The Society of Jesus

The Society of Jesus is located in the Plaza de Armas of Cusco. It is one of the
Baroque churches of Cusco; with this style the architecture of the time reached its
highest peak. It is made of andesite stone and has a very beautiful facade. At the
entrance you will see a virgin (immaculate conception) carved in marble; Inside, the
main altar made of cedar and covered with gold leaves stands out; It is built almost
entirely of stone and stands out for its paintings and carvings.

The Convent of La Merced

The Convent of La Merced is located one block from the Plaza Regocijo in the
Historic Center of Cusco. In 1650 an earthquake caused serious damage to the
Church of Mercy, the destruction was so great that it took almost 20 years to rebuild
the temple. This building has a unique beauty, its almost rustic walls contrast very
well with its beautiful columns and its baroque bell tower. You will find plateresque
choir stalls, beautiful wood carvings and many paintings of the Cusqueña School.
Experts agree that the Temple of Mercy is one of the most beautiful in all of Latin
America.

The Church of San Blas

The church of San Blas is one of the oldest in Cusco; It was built around 1,544 on
an ancient Inca sanctuary dedicated to the cult of the god "Illapa", deity of lightning,
thunder and lightning. Although its structure is simple, it presents an incredible
cedar pulpit that was apparently made by indigenous people of the time. The main
altar of the church is impressive, it is carved in cedar and adorned with gold leaves,
it has a mixed style typical of the baroque.

St. Peter's Church

The Church of San Pedro is located a few blocks from the Plaza de Armas in
Cusco and like the other Churches of the city, it houses beautiful paintings of the
Cusqueña School; the pulpit was carved by the famous artist from Cusco, Juan
Tomas Tuyru Tupac. The 2 bell towers give the facade a Renaissance cut.
The church of San Sebastian

It is located in the main square of the district of San Sebastián, 6 kilometers from
Cusco. The church of San Sebastián was built in a place surrounded by small
archaeological sites that must have been very important in the time of the Incas.
The temple, the facade and the main altar are baroque; it has a very unique
architecture full of ornaments. The temple was built by Melchor Mayta in 1,673 and
inside you can find works by the famous Cusco artist Diego Quispe Tito.

Much of the Silvac house was donated by its owner at some time for the
construction of the Convent of Santa Teresa del Cusco, said house that today
becomes part of the convent, had 7 stone stringers aligned from stretch to stretch
to what they called quarts Some of these stringers faced Sapi Street and the others
towards the entrance of the Silvac house, that is why they called this road as Calle
Siete Cuartones.
At present there is only one of the 7 quarts that existed in the cloister of the
convent, which shows an anthropomorphic figure, with the presence of scales or a
species of scaly skin.

25. Streets of the cusco.
Seven Masks

It is a silent passage located between Almudena and the parish of Santiago. It is

said that on this street lived Don Mascareñas, a Spaniard with six children, who
helped him in the task of melting bronze pieces that were placed in the doors of the
churches and where they are preserved until today. The weather has caused this
street to deteriorate; although it still keeps the essence of its history.

Seven windows

This street is the continuation of Ruinas Street; it is known that before the
destruction of the San Agustín Temple; behind them there was a residence that had
4 large and 3 small windows; although the buildings of today do not match the
number of windows in the street name.

Seven Quarters

Its name is given by 7 stone stringers that form squares aligned on the old riverbed
of the Saphy River; At the moment it passes under Av. El Sol in Cusco. At the
present time of the 7 stringers that existed in this place, only the one that remains
on Saphy Street can be appreciated; the others were lost with the advance of the
new city.

Seven Devils

It is the street where the people of yesteryear fell in love; they say that the lovers
were tempted by the devil and that many women returned from this street with their
"Sunday 7" (pregnant); These stories gave rise to the name. At present, the
immense number of people who visit the Historic Center of Cusco, has made the
street lose the charm for couples who want a romantic moment.

Seven Little Angels

Like most things they have to go in balance; we have the street called Siete
Angelitos, it is located to the right of Carmen Alto street. On the roof of an old
house you can see the figures of 7 angels that were painted by the order Blas de
Bobadilla, who was the former owner of this house; but there are also other figures
worthy of being seen, however these 7 angels will steal your attention.

Seven Snakes

It is one of the most beautiful streets of Cusco and its name, from the time of the
Incas, makes reference to these small animals; It is located in the Plazaleta
Nazarenas. Inca stone walls carry 7 pairs of snakes carved in high relief. Nowadays
you can find the snakes, which will cause you to look at them carefully and with a
lot of patience.

Seven Sheep
The name refers to the people who passed through this steep street with cattle and
beasts of burden. At present the growth and modernity of the city, have made it
called Palacios Street, since it was remodeled to improve traffic through the place.
Even now from time to time, you can see some people in traditional costumes
walking with some llamas and little sheep, looking for their attention.
Purgatory Street
Named for the street located between the Cuesta del Almirante and Calle
Huaynapata, this street was named because of the artifacts practiced by a garbage
man named Colmenares who later due to his bad habits would be dismissed from
his position by a Cuzqueño Cabildo; It is said that to obtain money without the need
to work, the faith, fear and piety of passersby exploited to gather “alms”.
Sweden street
Originally called by the people of Cusco during the Viceroyalty as “Dirty Street”, as
the vendors of the Plaza Mayor market with their respective cargo animals (mules
and llamas) that transported bread products, they made this street a filthy garbage
dump. , which to carry out the problem collective tasks were carried out in order to
sweep it and leave it clean especially on the eve of Corpus or Holy Monday; and
this is how “Dirty Street” derived from the improper and rare name of “Sweden
Street” or “Sweden Street”, it is said that this change was made to hide this ugly
past.
Slope of Bitterness
This sloping and tiring cost owes its name to the fact that there the Spanish builders
made a few Indians let immense rocks roll out of the fortress of Sacsayhuaman by
order of Francisco Pizarro, to be used in the construction of the Cuzco Cathedral.
On the other hand there were also Indians who were responsible for containing the
huge rocks released from the top of this street, which suffered very hard accidents,
in some cases they were fatal and that for this reason they would have given the
street the name of “Mucchuicata ”, Which translated into Spanish means“ Cuesta
de la Amargura ”.
Ash Street
This street was unnamed until the appearance of the terrible plague of 1719, which
caused more than 95 daily deaths counting only in the city and thus continued for
almost more than a year without anyone being able to specify the name of the
disease (we know today that was the cholera and whose symptoms were pain to
the belly and head, delirium and vomit of blood, cracking in the legs for the end, to
die of dysentery).
