Our Lady of la Almudena Church, Colonial church in Santiago District, Cusco, Peru

The stone and limestone religious building features a single nave design with an altar housing the Virgin of Almudena statue.

The church construction began in 1673 under Bishop Andrés Mollinedo y Angulo, who dedicated the temple to Saint Mary Real de la Almudena.

The interior contains a notable sculpture of Our Lady of Almudena created by indigenous artist Tomás Tuyro Túpac during the colonial period.

The church stands in Plazoleta de Almudena square, near the General Cemetery, and remains open for religious services and tourist visits.

The church walls incorporate stones from the former Convent of San Agustín, which was destroyed by cannon fire during historical conflicts.
