Iglesia de San Blas
This simple adobe church is comparatively small, but you can't help but be awed by the baroque, gold-leafed principal altar. The exquisitely carved pulpit has been called the finest example of colonial wood-carving in the Americas.

Iglesia de Santo Domingo
The church of Santo Domingo is most famous as the site of Qorikancha, which was Cuzco's major Incan temple. It has twice been destroyed by earthquakes, in 1650 and 1950, as well as being damaged in the 1986 earthquake - photographs in the entrance show the extent of the 1950 damage. Also in the entrance is a doorway carved in Arabic style - a reminder of the centuries of Moorish domination in Spain.
