Santa Cruz de Jerusalen, Juli, Baroque church in Juli, Peru
The Santa Cruz de Jerusalen church displays granite stone carvings on its facade and contains multiple decorated altars within its interior walls.
Construction of the church occurred between the 16th and 17th centuries, serving as a key center for Jesuit missionaries training in South America.
The church represents a fusion of European and indigenous architectural elements, reflecting the religious transformation of the Andean region during colonial times.
Located 70 kilometers west of Puno at an elevation of 3,869 meters, the church welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
A restoration project initiated in 2020 with a budget of 10 million soles focuses on preserving the original granite stonework and colonial artistry.
