CHURCHES AND CONVENTS
Convent cloisters
Most of the small cloisters of Cusco still remain the Renacentist style of the second half of the XVI century. They are formed by brick arches of an exact semicircle that are lying over stone columns. In contrast to the convents in Lima with asymmetric and different arches in both floors, these arches have two times more little arches in the second floor than in the first one. The most important improvement in this field was the cloister of the Order of La Merced built up to 1663 in a complete baroque style and joined by two big affixed columns of rich woodcarving.
