The complex was built around 1570 as a beater for doncases and it was in 1766 when it became a cloistered convent. Its builder, José Manuel Ramírez, has left a clear and incomparable work in his works, evident in its ornamental and architectural appearance with the Tridentino College and, especially, with the facade and interior of the University of San Carlos, which today is constituted as a museum visited.



The church changes different architectural damages due to the different earthquakes that shook the Colonial City, but unlike other temples and constructions in the region, it is distinguished by very particular additional characteristics: the blocks that a static incites to think in movement. threatening.



This façade draws attention and highlights large cracks in its upper part and in its entrance arch, which seemed about to fall. Previously, as a whole, the visitor was given the idea of ​​the cause that caused the same overturns to fall the huge and colossal pieces that formed its arches and domes. In the case of Santa Rosa de Lima, they only remained in the remains of the walls.



This set of ruins located at the end of the Alameda de Santa Rosa. You can call her for the 1st. North Avenue or Calle de la Candelaria.





Its facade has been stripped of much of the original details, but the color of its walls contrasts with the days seen with the blue that is seen in the upper part, without its main image.



It is appreciated by many photographers for this detail, which brings this monumental retreat from the past to life.
