Lonely Planet review for Iglesia y Monasterio de Santa Catalina

This convent houses many colonial paintings of the escuela cuzqueña, as well as an impressive collection of vestments and other embroidery (definitely a must-see for embroidery fans). It also contains a baroque side chapel with dramatic friezes, and many life-sized (and sometimes startling) models of nuns praying, sewing and going about their lives. The convent also houses 13 real, live contemplative nuns.
