San Juan Bautista, Puno, Colonial church in Puno, Peru.
The San Juan Bautista church features a French Gothic facade with three Gothic altars and religious paintings adorning its interior walls.
Originally constructed as a simple adobe chapel for native residents, the church has evolved over two centuries into a substantial religious structure.
The church hosts the venerated image of Our Lady of Candelaria, celebrated each February 2nd with traditional dances and regional festivities.
Located near Puno's main square in Pune Park, the church remains open for religious services and welcomes visitors throughout the year.
The church walls contain mural paintings by Peruvian artist Tadeo Escalante, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century.
