San Francisco Church, Colonial Catholic temple in central Cusco, Peru

San Francisco Church is a Franciscan church on the south side of Plaza San Francisco in central Cusco. It has a Latin cross plan with three basilical naves, a single tower holding seven bells, and a facade combining Romanesque and Plateresque elements. The high choir, carved in cedar in 1652 by friars Luis Montes, Isidro Fernández Inca and Antonio de Paz, contains images of 93 saints.

The church was commissioned in 1572 by Viceroy Francisco de Toledo, but underwent major reconstruction after the 1650 earthquake. The building as it stands today was completed in 1652 following this extensive rebuilding.

Inside the convent hangs the "Genealogía de la orden franciscana", painted in 1699 by Juan Espinoza de los Monteros. The canvas measures 12 metres high by 9 wide and depicts 12 branches of the order, 683 figures, 224 coats of arms and 203 biographical inscriptions.

The church stands on the south side of Plaza San Francisco, about 300 metres southwest of the Plaza de Armas, beside the Colegio Ciencias building. The crypts in the basement, which once held human remains when the temple served as a cemetery, are the part visitors most often overlook; ask locally whether they can be entered.

The crypts under the church held human remains because the temple also served as a cemetery. In the convent hangs Juan Espinoza de los Monteros's 1699 "Genealogía de la orden franciscana", 12 metres high and 9 wide, with 683 figures, 224 shields and 203 biographical inscriptions.
