Plazoleta de las Nazarenas

The square features cobblestone streets and colonial buildings, including the Church of Las Nazarenas and several historical mansions surrounding the plaza.

Originally part of the Inca capital, the square transformed after Spanish conquest when adjacent lands were given to conquistadors who established the Santa Clara convent.

The Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, located in the Casa Cabrera on the north side, exhibits an extensive collection of ancient Peruvian artifacts.

The square connects to the Plaza de Armas via a 300-meter northward walk and houses two luxury hotels: Belmond Hotel Palacio Nazarenas and Belmond Hotel Monasterio.

The plaza contains a monument to Bishop Manuel de Mollinedo y Angulo in its northern section and a bust of Peruvian inventor Pedro Ruiz Gallo in the south.
