Jesús, María y José, Cultural heritage church in Lima District, Peru.
The building features a simple exterior facade with small towers and empty niches, located at the intersection of Jr. Moquegua and Jr. Camaná.
The church began as an oratory in the house of Nicolas Ayllón in 1678, who provided shelter to orphaned children and religious youth.
The interior design represents one of Lima's finest examples of Baroque architecture, contrasting with the minimalist external appearance of the building.
The monastery currently houses 36 cloistered nuns, who maintain the only establishment of their order within the country of Peru.
The church contains an organ built in 1873, which despite its small size ranks among the most substantial musical instruments in Peru.
