San Francisco Monastery and Catacombs
The San Francisco convent offers a rare underground counterpoint to Lima’s streets and plazas. Its catacombs make the museum visit more than a facade stop.
After seeing the historic centre above ground, enter the convent museum to explore the catacombs beneath it. The church and convent belong to the UNESCO-listed urban ensemble, so the visit connects one major building with the wider fabric of central Lima.
