Plaza San Francisco, Cusco, Colonial square in central Cusco, Peru
The Plaza San Francisco features a botanical garden with native plants, surrounded by colonial buildings and the San Francisco Church complex.
The square emerged from the division of the larger Huacaypata during colonial times, when Spanish authorities constructed mansions and religious buildings.
The San Francisco Church museum contains exhibition halls presenting religious artifacts and documents that illustrate the colonial period of Cusco.
Visitors can reach the plaza by walking east from Plaza de Armas through Calle Marques or Garcilaso streets in approximately five minutes.
The Casa de Clorinda Matto de Turner, facing the plaza, stands as a Historical Monument of Peru and functions as the current EsSalud headquarters.
