"The Basilica y convento de San Francisco (Saint Francis Monastery) has some great grounds that include an impressive library and even catacombs. Part of the Lima highlights is visiting the Monastery’s catacombs and the underground vaults that were used until the early 19th century as a resting place for members of fraternities; these have possibly had about 25,000 bodies. Once inside the Church, another site you will want to go to is the historic library that holds about 25,000 antique texts, some of which date back to the times before the Spanish Conquest."

" Visit the San Francisco church. The underground tunnels lead to catacombs that served as cemetery and still contain bones and skulls."
