Iglesia de la Recoleta (Lima)

The Church of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (Spanish: Iglesia de los Sagrados Corazones de Jesús y María), also known as the Iglesia de la Recoleta, is a Catholic church in the Plaza Francia in the historic centre of Lima, Peru.

[1] The recoleta de la Magdalena is one of the oldest in Lima since it was built in 1606.

[4] The irregular small square attached to the atrium of the church stands out, which is juxtaposed with a pre-existing Inca path.

[5] The Gothic-Elizabethan floor plan has a long and narrow rectangular shape.

The front wall has been left octagonal due to the chamfered corners.
