Church and Convent of Santo Domingo

It took more than five decades delay for the construction of the church and the Convent of Santo Domingo, because the project begun at the same time as the foundation of Lima and the end of the sixteenth century marked by the end of it. The church is composed by three naves with a carved choral ashlar masonry in cedar wood. The church is crowned by a large cuple. The interior displays images from the first years of the City and also an image of Our Lady the Virgin of the Rosary, which first arrived at the Rímac Valley, Patron of the city, has deep relation with the Peruvian saints and by its remarkable devotion that was coronated in the year 1927 in a unique event in the religious history of the country. On the other hand, the convent, like all, has interesting claustros and in this case, with Sevillian style patios their typical tiles. Its capitulary room is of the baroque style. It is here, in 1551, that the National University of San Marcos was founded, the first in the Americas. The temple of Our Lady of the Rosary (original name of the church of Santo Domingo) was elevated to the category of basilica in 1930, and in its interior is the Altar of the Peruvian Saints, which is visited annually by thousands of residents of Peru and by many foreigners.

Very nice. A couple things I like about the photo:

- Great sky with the "wispy" clouds all around the steeple of the church. The dark colors of the sky also.
- The sense of motion in the foreground with the moving cars.
- The photo is really sharp and detailed.
- The POV / DOF is perfect.
- The framing compliments the photo well.

Great work.
John

lovely picture,,,specially the colour of the clouds

Assi,
I like this one a lot.
The sky is superb, and the foreground perfectly dynamic.
I like too the architecture texture.
Great job,
Regards,
JB.

nice colors in the sky

Spooky. Looks like a scence from a Ghostbusters movie. Although the car inthe foreground is consistent with the motion in the clouds it is also distracting (so is the bit of building on the right).
