Sacred Sites of Titicaca

This collection highlights the architectural and spiritual heritage of the Lake Titicaca basin, spanning both Peru and Bolivia. It features the 17th-century Andean Baroque churches of Juli, often called the 'Rome of the Indies,' alongside the massive Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana. These sites showcase intricate stone carvings, colonial-era murals, and historic altarpieces that reflect the syncretism between Spanish Catholicism and indigenous traditions. From grand cathedrals to remote lakeside shrines, these structures serve as enduring landmarks of the region's religious history.
