Palacio del Arzobispado

Description:

• This imposing building is built on the foundations of the Inca Roca's Palace. Its outside walls demonstrate some of the finest classical Inca architecture. The fabric of the wall, comprised of blocks of green andesite, is enormous. The colonial construction, built on top of the existing Inca walls houses an impressive collection of colonial religious art. The colonial canvases are of a similar quality to the building, displaying a fusion of two refined arts: Inca architecture and Spanish painting. Admission is included in the "Tourist Ticket."
