The Sanctuary of Santa Rosa de Lima, "The Patron 
Saint of America" was for centuries the home of someone
 who was in life Isabel Flores de Oliva. The sanctuary
 is famous for the wishing well where thousands of 
devotees of the saint come to deposit an
 envelope with letters of requests. Personally I went
 to visit this shrine twice, first with a tour of my school
 to do a review on Santa Rosa is well known in Lima
, this room day after day you receive many visits, I 
personally think that the sanctuary gives a feeling 
of tranquility, rest.

 al rio rimac Se dice que este reciento era habitado 
por isabel flores de oliva que luego fue canonizada
 con el nombre de Santa Rosa de Lima. Aqui en este
 recinto podemos encontrar un jardin, donde fue el 
que albergo a Isabel Flores, tambien encontramos
 la silla donde descansaba, y sobre todo el conocido
 pozo de los deseos, el cual se dice que la presona 
que arroje una carta escribiendo su deseo , este se
 cumplira. En los meses de agosto es muy 
concurrido, sobre todo el 30 de agosto que

 style is Renaissance. Plant has a rectangular room
, emulating the cathedral of Seville. The roof is 
supported by ribbed Gothic vaults to recreate the

building and stands on the old novitiate of the Dominican

 reminiscent of the Rococo. Sample 5 balconies, Louis
 XVI style, decorated with garlands and accompanied
 by 3 balconies sill. At the top is a gazebo covered by
 a small dome silhouette Muslim.
"Although the house was completed between 1803
 and 1805 in its present form, the eighteenth-century
 architecture remains perfectly still and looks much of
 the finery of Louis XVI and reminiscences of Louis 
XV; cover with neoclassical pilasters with garlands 
Ionic capitals, typical of the style, arch in segment of 
a circle, perillones cup shape flowers, overlapping
 central entry openings on three floors with plastic 
and vertical continuity of low relief in the French 
manner. It is remarkable that this sense of verticality
 is accentuated even more by the lookout, as Lima, who
 tops and exalted, by contrast, and so eloquently, broad
 and horizontal rhythm of the facade. That minaret, 
covered by a small dome silhouette Muslim, it seems
 that the first owner of the house, the Spanish banker 
Osambela binoculars watched the entrance of the 
galleons to Callao ... ".

The most startling of this building are the catacombs, which strike more than one because they were the old cemetery in colonial times. 
Was operated as such until 1810 and it is estimated that at that time 
had to hold up to 25,000 people. Today you can see in the different 
rooms a number of bones arranged by type and sometimes in quite 
"artistic" as the grave. Some doors of the crypt - which according to 
some hypotheses lead to corridors that connect with other churches 
and even the government palace - make this a thrilling space.

and best architectural centers of the city, also one of the largest and
 most beautiful legacies of the colonial era, consequently become 
one of the cultural centers of Peru generates greater interest in visitors.
