Cusco - Museum of Religious Art Museo de Arte Religioso

The Museo de Arte Religioso (Museum of Religious Art) is housed in the impressive Archbishop's Palace (Palacio Arzobispal), which was once the residence of the Archbishop of Cusco. This colonial palace features Moorish-style doors and balcony, impressive carved cedar ceilings, stained-glass windows, unique tile work (although not the original), and life size recreations of Archbishops.

It was built on the site of the Palace of Ina Roca.

On display in the museum are colonial religious paintings, notable for the historical detail they present, particularly with regards to the conquistadors and Indians. There are also works by Juan Zapata.

The Museo de Arte Religioso is located on the corner of the pedestrian street of Hatunrumiyoc and Palacio, northeast of the Plaza de Armas.
