The Monasterio de Santa Clara, situated in Trujillo, Peru, offers a serene glimpse into the lives of the Poor Clare Sisters, a contemplative order dedicated to simplicity and prayer. Built in the 17th century, its colonial architecture showcases Baroque elements with classic adobe construction. The cloistered courtyard is aesthetically pleasing, surrounded by intricate wooden balconies and ornamental arches. Though the monastery is an active convent, providing a peaceful atmosphere, visitors can access certain areas, including the church and occasionally some interior spaces during religious events. Capture the delicate contrast between the sunlit exteriors and shadowed archways for evocative photos. Avoid visiting during services to respect the sisters’ privacy and ensure the preservation of their tranquil lifestyle.
