Cathedral

Huancavelica’s most spectacular religious building, built in 1673, has been restored in attractive maroon and white. It contains what some say is the best colonial altar in Peru, with ornate cedar woodwork, as well as escuela cuzqueña (Cuzco school) paintings. Mass, the only time the church seems to be open, is 7am and 5:15pm daily, with more morning services on Sundays.
