Sanctuary of Las Nazarenas, Carmelite church and monastery in Lima District, Peru
The Sanctuary of Las Nazarenas presents Rococo architecture with two fluted Tuscan columns and gilded decorations on its central facade.
Built in 1771 under Viceroy Manuel Amat, the sanctuary replaced an earlier church damaged by earthquakes at the former Pachacamilla neighborhood.
The sanctuary houses the venerated image of the Lord of Miracles, painted by an Angolan slave on an adobe wall in the 17th century.
Visitors can access the religious complex daily from 6:00 AM to noon and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM through entrances on Tacna Avenue.
The original wall painting survived the devastating 1655 earthquake while surrounding structures collapsed, initiating centuries of religious devotion.
