Convento San Agustín, Religious complex and hotel in historic center, Cusco, Peru
The stone building combines Spanish colonial architecture with Inca foundation walls, displaying large cloisters and decorated facades across multiple levels.
Founded in 1559 by Augustinian missionaries, the convent operated until 1826 when a civil war bombing forced the religious order to return to Lima.
The structure represents a fusion of Spanish and Inca architectural techniques, with stones from pre-Hispanic structures integrated into its colonial design.
The JW Marriott El Convento Cusco hotel occupies the restored building, offering modern accommodations within walking distance of Plaza de Armas.
Following the 1650 earthquake damage, materials from the convent were reused in various Cusco buildings, including the Municipal Palace and La Almudena Cemetery.
