The San Franciso Monastery in Lima, Peru, boasts 17th century Spanish architecture. Catacombs are located under the monastery, and are said to connect to other catacombs beneath the cathedral and other area churches. The Convento de San Francisco's library is world-renowned.

The church and convento of SanFrancisco were late starters in the Dominican stronghold of Oaxaca.
