Jesús, María y José

Jesús, María y José, Cultural heritage church in Lima District, Peru.

Jesús, María y José is a church in Lima with a modest exterior facade and small towers, located at the intersection of Jr. Moquegua and Jr. Camaná. The interior features elaborate Baroque design that stands in sharp contrast to its simple outside appearance.

Nicolás Ayllón, a tailor from Chiclayo, and his wife María Jacinta Montoya ran a house for orphans and abandoned youths in late 17th-century Lima; it already had a modest oratory when Nicolás died in 1677. A chapel built on land donated by Francisco Mendoza Cisneros opened on 1 April 1678, was damaged by the earthquake of 17 June and rebuilt larger. It became a monastery on 14 March 1713.

The monastery is home to 36 cloistered Capuchin nuns, the only community of that order in Peru. The monastery keeps the table of Blessed Nicolás de Dios, who was said to lengthen cloth to clothe the poor. The church also preserves an 1873 organ by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, donated by the Dreyfus family of Lima.

Access to the interior may be limited since the church is occupied by cloistered nuns and is not always open to visitors. It is helpful to inquire about visiting hours in advance or observe the architectural details of the facade from the street.

The organ was built in 1873 by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, a celebrated French organ builder, and was donated to the church by the Dreyfus family of Lima. Small in size, it is counted among Peru's most important instruments.
