Photographer’s Note

A view of San Francisco church, on the main square of Cajamarca.

Historically, The Plaza de Armas of Cajamarca is the most important Square in South America. There, the Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro captured the Inca Atahualpa after a slaughter that, up to now, startles the humanity.

The gardens of Cajamarca irradiate peace, tranquility and the same environmental balance of its countryside.

This singular architectural work entirely of hand cut stone, it is part of the complex formed by San Francisco's Convent.
In the interior are found highlighted the Sanctuary dedicated to la Virgen de los Dolores, patron saint of Cajamarca, the scenes of last supper and washing of feet, carved in solid rock, the Pinacoteca, the Museum of Religious Art and already famous "Catacombs".
