Experts' Choice Award Iglesia de San Blas
What the experts agree on
This modest 1536 adobe church sits atop Inca foundations, impressing visitors with its ornate baroque altar and a darkly clever pulpit supported by figures of heretical leaders and sin personified.
“Figures of Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Henry VIII—all opponents of Catholicism—as well as those representing the seven deadly sins are condemned for eternity to hold up the pulpit's base. ”
