History

The beguinage and the first chapel were completed in 1688. The temple as a whole was only completed in 1754. In 1919 the beguinage was transformed into the convent of the Dominican nuns of the Most Holy Rosary. [1]

Architecture

The temple is located at Jirón Manco Cápac 164, on the eastern side of the Alameda de los Descalzos, built in the 17th century. [2] [3] Next to this public space are also the Church of Saint Liberata and that of Our Lady of the Angels.

The Patrocinio is an atypical church, as its plan is rectangular, it lacks a transept, and it has a half-orange dome over the main chapel. [1]
