Templo de Santiago Apostol de Lampa

Templo de Santiago Apostol de Lampa, Colonial church in Lampa, Puno, Peru.

The Templo de Santiago Apóstol is a church in Lampa built between 1675 and 1685 with pink sillar stone using the calicanto technique. A 35-metre tower stands on the right side of its facade. Inside is a replica of Michelangelo's Pietà.

Construction of the church took place between 1675 and 1685 under orders from the Bishop of Cusco, Manuel de Mollinedo y Angulo. It was built during a period when Spanish colonial authorities were reshaping the Andes and establishing new religious centers.

The town honours Santiago Apóstol, its patron saint, with a feast on 25 July. The church, declared a historical monument on 20 February 1941, is where that celebration centres. Look for the pink sillar stone and calicanto technique in the walls.

The building is easily accessible from the town of Lampa and is best visited during the dry season from May to October. During these months, weather is stable and allows for a pleasant visit to the site.

The interior holds a replica of Michelangelo's Pietà; the source does not say it is exact or give its material, date or maker. The church was declared a historical monument on 20 February 1941 by the Instituto Nacional de Cultura. Its tower rises 35 m on the right side of the portada.
