📍 From Plaza Mayor de Cusco, Peru
Cusco Cathedral, or the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin, is a treasure trove for both photographers and art enthusiasts. Built on the foundation of an Inca palace, it features a captivating blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Key photographic highlights include the intricately carved choir stalls, the famous Black Christ statue, and an array of colonial paintings, including the Last Supper by Marcos Zapata, depicting local elements like guinea pig. The cathedral's facade and interior altars are rich in gold and silver, while the central location on Cusco’s Plaza de Armas offers varied angles for exterior shots against a backdrop of the Andes Mountains. Visit during different times of day to capture the play of light on these historic structures.
