Convento de San Francisco is the Spanish name for Saint Francis Monastery:
It is considered by some to be the greatest architectural complex of its kind in Latin America. Its construction was started in 1542 and completed in 1674 and is made up by the church and the convent of San Francisco, as well as of the chapels of the Solitude and the Miracle.
The Spanish in conspiricy with the Roman Catholic Church made every attempt to keep the native people in line by the use of religion. One attempt that is shown in the Monestary is a painting of "The Last Supper" by Marcos Zapata, a master Quechua painter,. It shows Christ and the Apostles about to dine on guinea-pig, papaya, and yucca, washed down with a glass of chicha! We were at The San Francisco Convent Of Lima at about 9:15 AM on the morning of April 10, 2006.
