The '''Basilica and Maximus Convent of Nuestra Señora del Rosario''', popularly known as the '''Convent of Santo Domingo''' (or '''Convent of the Holy Rosary'''), is a [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] religious complex located in the city of [[Lima]], [[Peru]]. 

It was created in the 1530s under the patronage of [[Our Lady of the Rosary]] and is located in the [[Historic Centre of Lima]]. It houses the [[Relic|relics]] of [[Rose of Lima]] and [[Martin de Porres]], and was also where the [[National University of San Marcos|University of San Marcos]], officially the first Peruvian university and the oldest university in the Americas, began to function in the 16th century.

[[File:Tower of Dominican Church, Lima, Peru LCCN2001705584.jpg|thumb|138px|Monk holding clapper of bell in the belfry of the Basilica of Santo Domingo, circa 1923]]
The construction of the Convent of Santo Domingo took about 50 years. Its construction began during the foundation of [[Lima]] and concluded at the end of 16th century. It was the provincial Friar [[Fray Thomas de San Martín|Tomás de San Martín]], who began to carry out the construction of the first church of the Order, being later the superior Friar Sebastián de Ayllón that received aid of the King, finishing the work in the year of 1578.

The first building was completely destroyed by the earthquake of 1678. A new church was erected by Dominican architect Diego Maroto, and the convent was rebuilt, which had six cloisters and several courtyards before the earthquake of 1687. The church was rebuilt from the transept to the choir, the arches were changed and the number of windows was expanded. As a result, the church acquired breadth, simplicity and uniformity. The materials used in the construction were adobe, brick and ''calicanto'', among others. The [[quincha]] served to lighten the weight, to make the structure more flexible and to increase the resistance to the earthquakes, so frequent in this region.

Because the earthquakes of 1687 and 1746 the set necessitated further modifications, such as the reconstruction of the tower, the main portal of the church and part of the convent, which included changes in the distribution of the cloisters, which is currently can appreciate.

The church was elevated to the category of Minor Basilica in 1930. The structure of the church was some damaged ten years later by an earthquake and restored in the later years. The convent's apple orchard would be lost to the changing course of the [[Rímac River]].

== The church ==
=== Exterior ===
The exterior of the church was originally covered by [[bossage]], as can be seen still at the base of the bell tower. A primitive portal, two bodies and three streets, was carved in the second half of the 17th century. In later years a new portal would rise because of the earthquakes that destroyed the church.

The church was restored after the Earthquake of Lima and Callao of 1940, that supposed the application of cement in the walls.

==== Bell tower ====
[[File:Convento de Santa Domingo Lima.JPG|thumb|upright|left|Cloister and bell tower]]
The first bell tower of the church, of baroque style and three bodies, was designed together with the church by Diego Maroto in the second half of the 17th century and was destroyed during the earthquake of 28 of October 1746.

The present bell tower was conceived and designed by the Viceroy [[Manuel de Amat y Junyent|Manuel d'Amat i de Junyent]] in 1766 in the [[Rococo]] style, being in the bottom of octagonal form. It is divided into a lower body and two tall bodies with small balconies on corbels. At the top is the sculpture of a figure holding a trumpet, representing the angel who announces the Final Judgment. The total height is 46 meters, and is considered one of the most characteristic elements of the religious complex. The base of the bell tower still preserves the bossage that once covered the facade of the first church.

The total height is 46 meters. Its original color is white and pink, becoming the most characteristic and striking element of the religious set.

The church is divided in a main nave covered by rib vault and two lateral naves of interconnected and lantern chapels, in which also is the lateral portal of the church, the access to the tower and, next to the epistle, an entrance to the main cloister of the convent. The main nave has an additional entrance to the feet preceded by the [[narthex]] (space where religious instruction was given to the natives or those who were not baptized), on which is the high choir of the church.

==== Choir ====
In the chorus of the church is the one that is considered the oldest ashlar masonry of the country. Completely worked in wood of cedar brought from [[Nicaragua]], it is of [[Renaissance]] style, with [[Mannerist]] elements.

It has two sets of stalls: the first level was modernly sculpted, with the design based on the old. The originals are in the back, bearing in the back carvings of saints and other biblical characters. In the central part of the ashlar is the main seat of the [[Prior (ecclesiastical)|prior]] of the convent, with carvings of [[Saint Dominic]] and [[Francis of Assisi|Saint Francis of Assisi]] founders of the [[Dominican Order|Dominicans]] and The [[Franciscans]], respectively. The seat of the choir was carved by several artists among which [[Juan Martínez de Arrona]] (1562 -1635) would be outstanding.

==== Nave ====

[[File:Altar i àbsis de Santo Domingo2.jpg|thumb|upright|Altarpiece and apse]]
As mentioned previously, the enclosure is formed by three naves, of which the lateral ones are composed by chapels in which are located several reredos. On the side portal from left to right we find the following reredos or altarpieces: Next to the Gospel, the altarpieces of [[Hyacinth of Poland|St. Hyacinth of Poland]], [[Saint Joseph]], [[Saint Dominic]] and [[Our Lady of the Rosary]]; and on the side of the Epistle those of the Peruvian Saints, the Souls, [[Thomas Aquinas|St. Thomas Aquinas]], [[Sacred Heart]], Chapel of the Lord of Justice and the Chapel of the Co-fraternity of the Rosary.<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.cuscoperu.com/es/viajes/lima/templos-y-santuarios/santo-domingo|title=Iglesia de Santo Domingo - Lima|website=cuscoperu.com}}</ref>

The most important is the altarpiece of the Peruvian Saints, of [[Neoclassical sculpture|neoclassical]] style, located in the right transept of the church. In the center is the effige of [[Rose of Lima|St. Rose of Lima]], to the left side this of [[Martin de Porres|St. Martin de Porres]] and to the right [[John Macias|St. John Macias]], that in spite of being born in the Iberian peninsula, is considered Peruvian because he developed his religious life in Lima. At the bottom of these images are reliquaries where the remains of each saint mentioned above rest. In the lower part of the altar there is a sculpture of St. Rose of Lima, made by the [[Maltese people|Maltese]] artist Melchor Caffá in 1669, on behalf of the [[Pope Clement IX]] to give it to the Dominican fathers for his beatification.

In the left transept is the altarpiece dedicated to the Patroness of Lima and titular of the church, Our Lady of the Rosary. In [[Neoclassical sculpture|neoclassical]] style, it conserves in its main niche the effigy of this invocation "que fue la primera de este Reyno" (that she was the first one of this Kingdom). According to tradition it was given to Lima by King Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. It was specially venerated by Rose of Lima and Martin de Porres, among others, and was crowned solemnly in the year 1927.

==== Presbytery ====
The altar is of neoclassical style with decoration in turquoise and gold.

It is called the Chapter House because all the friars were gathered by chapters in order to choose their authorities and solve their problems, the room was made in the 17th century, in Baroque style by the Friar [[Diego Maroto]] member of the Order, architect born in [[Camarena]] (current province of Toledo, Spain). In 1551 in this same stage the [[National University of San Marcos|University of San Marcos]] is inaugurated. Its existing tribune or chatedra is used in the 17th century to dictate classes or support thesis, made in the [[baroque]] style, has solomonic columns, presents a painting of [[Thomas Aquinas|St. Thomas Aquinas]], to the front is a small reredos where the Christ of the agony is venerated, before which Martin de Porres was ecstatic and embraced to whom it was seen.

=== Guest room ===
[[File:Santo Domingo Convent, Lima, Peru - Laslovarga (24).jpg|thumb|190px|[[Artesonado]] dated to 1580 in the guest room]]
Here the fathers receive their authorities and relatives. The most noteworthy feature of this room is its [[artesonado]] ceilings dated to 1580, made of three thousand pieces held together by pressure without the use of nails. In this place the notes  of the [[National Anthem of Peru]] were composed by [[José Bernardo Alcedo]].

=== Main cloister ===
Composed of four galleries, decorated with [[azulejo|Sevillian azulejos]] dating from 1604 and 1606;<ref name="dialnet.unirioja.es">{{citation|chapter-url=https://dialnet.unirioja.es/descarga/articulo/5406683.pdf|page=12|year=2015|title=Aportaciones arqueológicas al análisis del arte decorativo murario en Panamá del siglo XVI - Azulejería sevillana del convento de Santo Domingo, Panamá Viejo|author1=Mirta Linero Baroni|author2=Juan Ramón Muñíz Álvarez|chapter=Restos de azulejería.

These galleries have [[artesonado]]  ceilings carved of oak from [[Panama]]; the cloister also features a bronze [[home stoup]], ordered to be built by the Dominicans, very famous for being where [[Martin de Porres|St. Martin de Porres]], according to the writer [[Ricardo Palma]], washed the bread of blond sugar turning it into white.

}}
One of the most worthy places to visit is the library, not only for the value of the writing works, but also for the coffered ceilings. This hall houses the oldest books that the Dominicans used, being among these, [[incunable]]s. The Library of the Convent has around 25,000 books, among them several bibliographical collections of great value.

Currently it is in the space of the old dining room.

=== Second cloister ===
Of simpler construction, in a corner you can see a sculpture in marble from [[Carrara]] (Italy) that represents the Christ of the Column. Cloister composed of two floors; the first one presents arches with bossages, and the second floor with baluster of trilobulated arcs.

=== Chapel of St. Martin de Porres ===
[[File:Iglesia de Santo Domingo, Lima, Perú, 2015-07-28, DD 50.JPG|thumb|right|Lateral nave where the remains of St. Rose of Lima, St. Martin de Porres and St. John Macias rest.]]
Place where [[Martin de Porres|St. Martin de Porres]] had its cell being destroyed by the earthquake of 1746. Due to the faithful and donations of the Church, a chapel is built in the place where he also had his nursery. It has an altar where its effige is venerated, having to its sides to [[Saint Dominic]] and [[Francis of Assisi|St. Francis of Assisi]] and in the superior part the Virgin of the Rosary. In the burial rest his remains and an urn where the timbers of his bed are conserved. On the walls you can see paintings depicting Martin de Porres's miracles. In the back of the chapel is located his bedroom. Also it emphasizes the Oratory of the saint, small atmosphere under the stairs where Martin frequently prayed and was tempted by the devil. Today you can see the great amount of gifts brought to him by his faithful devotees. At the top is a wooden cross with which it is remembered that in this same place St. Martin removed the temptations of the evil one.

=== Tomb of Santa Rosa de Lima ===
Located in the place that was an old cemetery where the first religious of the order were buried. An ossuary of several meters of depth where the bones of the time were placed. The tomb of marble where the remains of [[Rose of Lima|St. Rose of Lima]] are buried, are in the center of the environment that is decorated with mosaics. On a memorial plaque it reads: ''"Hago donación de mi cuerpo a mis hermanos Dominicos"'' (I make a donation of my body to my Dominican brothers). This phrase explains the gratitude of having belonged to the Tertiary Dominican Order.

== Colegio de Santo Tomás de Aquino ==
It was the year 1892 when the Dominican Order inaugurated the Colegio Santo Tomás de Aquino (College St. Thomas Aquinas), next to the convent of Santo Domingo, in the center of Lima. One hundred and twenty-five years later, the college retains its original location: Pasaje Rinconada de Santo Domingo 209, and still has a direct access from its main courtyard to the convent.

It is the first and only educational center in Lima to be founded by the Dominican fathers, being its first director Friar Jordán Revilla. The college is marked by the history of the city. In the [[Jirón Camaná]], the street parallel to the Pasaje Rinconada de Santo Domingo, are located the facilities of the Post Office of Lima and the Iglesia Santo Domingo, in turn, in the calle Conde de Superunda, behind the college, is what was the [[Casa de Correos y Telegrafos|Post and Telegraphs Office]] of Lima, now Museum of Gastronomy.

The cloisters of the Convento de Santo Domingo, which are separated from the college only by a door, have a close relationship with the history of Education in Peru. It was founded in 1535 along with the city of Lima. There were the first classes of what is now the [[National University of San Marcos]] (UNMSM), also known as the Dean of the Americas. The frontis of Santo Tomás de Aquino has been mute witness of changes in the city. Several decades ago there was a parking car in front of the school; but later, the frontis was invaded by merchants that would form in that place the commercial center Polvos Azules.

In 1997, during the management of the defunct Alberto Andrade, this center would be relocated and the space would become the [[Alameda Chabuca Granda]]. Another recent change in the infrastructure surrounding the college was the construction of the [[Rayitos de Sol Bridge]], during the management of former mayor Luis Castañeda Lossio. This bridge connects to the Chabuca Granda mall with the Santa Rosa whereabouts on the Vía de Evitamiento road.

Today, a track is being built underneath the Rímac River, located opposite the college, which is part of the Vía Parque Rímac.

But the Colegio Santo Tomás de Aquino has also varied with time; in the beginning the college was only for men during more than 100 years; only from the year 1994 the admission for women was accepted, becoming a mixed educational center.

In addition, since 2010, Inés Rossi Rossi is the director of the college, a fact that for Aquinense college is a milestone in its history, since its creation always had only directors and belonging to the Dominican Order.
