Iglesia de la Recoleta, Catholic temple in Cusco, Peru.
The Iglesia de la Recoleta features a brick archway supported by stone columns, with a central tower that rises above the main structure.
Construction of the church began in 1559 under Father Francisco de Velasco and reached completion in 1601 through funding from Toribio de Bustamante.
The church forms part of the Monumental Zone of Cusco, receiving recognition as a Historical Monument of Peru in 1972 and UNESCO World Heritage status in 1983.

Following the earthquake of 1688, native craftsman Nicolas Huallpa from Oropesa supervised the restoration of the temple tower, incorporating local building techniques.
