The construction of the church began in 1557 on land ceded to the Franciscan Religious order by the main chief of the Valley of Lima ,Gonzalo Taulichusco , in order to start the Evangelization, under the name of the Doctrine of the Blessed Magdalene Its main altar has a beautiful baroque decoration, and there are a series of 8 side altars, all covered with gold leaf.

We were lucky, as there was a wedding going on in this very special church. Built in 1557, The Parroquia Santa María Magdalena is one of the oldest churches in Lima. In the 20th century it's façade has been renovated, but the neo-classical style has been preserved Despite the numerous earthquakes the church has maintained the splendor of its altars and ornaments.
