The Monastery of San Francisco in Lima is called by the Incas themselves the "soul of the city" and is proud of this unusual golden-colored structure, which has managed to reach us through the centuries almost unchanged. The interior of the monastery is even more beautiful than its exterior. the monastery. One of the pearls of the monastery is the fresco in the refectory, made by representatives of the Francisco de Surbaran school – the one that depicts the "Last Supper". In this painting, on the table in front of the disciples of Jesus, you can see a traditional dish for Peru, namely a rat. A very impressive library, amazing wood carvings and of course the catacombs, which were used as a cemetery. There are patterns made of skulls and bones. The tour is mandatory
