Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We saw this twice, once alone and once with a guide, I'd say opt for the guide, you get a lot of extra information. Lots to learn about Inca construction and Culture, then the colonial religious overlay of course. I was surprised at all the 16th century religious artwork, but fascinating to learn that most of it originated locally in that period, from a specific school of art that was sponsored by wealthy Spanish and Incas alike.

I visited this convent with a Guide and I am very happy with it. This Guide allowed me to discover the Pre-Inca civilization and I could also see the smallest stone carved by the Incas. Happy also because when I came there were exercises to prepare the sun festival. This convent is very pretty to see and for the Low Award, 20 soles, there is nothing to say.

The Convent of Santo Domingo is built under the Inca Temple of Koricancha. And seeing the Inca buildings is exactly what’s worth the visit. Koricancha was a temple for the worship of Inca deities, mainly the Sun. Very interesting to see the perfectly fitted stones and imagine that the "Golden Temple" had a large part of its walls covered in gold. Its beautiful gardens were adorned with life-size animal statues made of solid gold. It is close to the Plaza de Armas and is a relatively quick and interesting visit. It is worth it.

An incredible place. The mix between the Inca culture with the Spanish. Everything is very clean, and you can buy the entrance ticket where the tour begins and do the tour with a guide, and have all the information about this exciting place that hides a lot of history.

What is amazing of Santo Domingo is the Inca foundation and the remains of Cusco's most important temple. The Inca walls for the Temple of the Sun room are alone worth the visit. It's an absolute MUST in Cusco.

Beautiful monastery that has been exquisitely maintained. So old Inca walls and a section of modern art. Once again a lovely courtyard

If you were to see just one religious site in Cusco, this should be it. The other big churches / cathedral in the main square are easily skippable, as they offer nothing unique, but the Santa Dominican Convent does: it is built on ancient Incan walls, and hence includes examples of Incan architecture. Well worth the visit.

Lots of religious art, of course, but found the examples of how the Incas built their structures to be fascinating.

The Incas origins of this monastery are an architectural marvel. The walls, rooms, stairs, the inner court and complemented by the cloisters in a grand setting overlooking the city.
