Main entrance facade and bell-gables of of the Nazarenas Palace, Cusco, Peru

This former Inca building on Plaza Nazarenas was acquired by the Jesuits in 1644 and then in 1757 by the Nazarene Order. They converted it into a church and convent and it was used as such until 1977. It has since been restored and converted into a luxury hotel, the Belmond Palacio Nazarenas, which opened in 2012. The strange mythical beasts with human faces and serpent tails above the entrance were added during the colonial period.
