Lima Peru San Francisco Church

The San Francisco church was the highlight of my visit to Lima. It wasn’t just all the pigeons who kept circling and making people wonder if there was a danger of getting attacked by wild pigeons. This was some church. I made the 40 minute English tour that was primarily of the monastery, the catacombs and the library. I was impressed with the Franciscan monastery found at the church. The monastery is most famous for its’ catacombs that are supposed to have witnessed as many as 70,000 burials. We got to see a lot of human remains. It also had a wonderful old library that supposedly housed texts that predated the Spanish conquest of Peru. .
