Church of San Pedro de Andahuaylillas
The main attraction of Andahuaylillas is its baroque church, the Church of San Pedro de Andahuaylillas (Spanish: San Pedro Apóstol de Andahuaylillas), dedicated to Saint Peter the Apostle. The church was built by Jesuits in the 16th-century, covering a pre-Columbian huaca.[3] Construction on the chapel started in 1570.[3] And by 1606, the church nave and the facade were completed.[3]
The church is nicknamed, "the Sistine Chapel of America" because of the magnificent frescos that adorn its walls, painted in the 1620s by Luis de Riaño and his indigenous collaborators.[4][5][6] The painting depicts the roads to heaven and to hell, and the composition was inspired by northern European prints.[7][8]
