Christ on the Cross, his face and body darkened by time and smoke from the incense. A temple, built in the mid XVI century, sheltering the image of the Christ of Luren, which on the way from Spain to Peru was thrown overboard and was adrift for days till it was found intact. The Lord of Luren and its thousands of followers await you to join them in the Easter walk on the third Monday of October. Aníbal Solimano / Promperú   A mixture of cultures, a display of beautiful pieces. From the Paracas culture, going through the Nazca, Ica, Chincha and Inca cultures. In these roomy and interesting halls you will see: fossils, petroglyphers, beautiful Paracas quilts, exquisite pieces of Nazca ceramics and Inca Quipus. In the Anthropology room there are displays of cranial interventions and deformities, trophy heads and pre-Columbian mummies. Archivo Promperú   Three beautiful houses, a feast to the eye. The house of the Marquis of Torre Hermosa stands out for its exquisite rococó facade carved in stone; it was home to the Liberator. That is why it is also known as Casa Bolívar. Casa del Valle, republican and majestic, a beautiful combination of the most beautiful porch of carved stone and two exterior large windows of fence and sombrero. Finally Casa Mallqui, also known as Casa de las Cornucopias. Fall in love with the plaster work, false columns and impressive facade, to the purest rococo style. A hunting scene, an organ transplant, the hunting of a dinosaur. Only three of the images carved in more than 30,000 stones (property of Dr. Javier Cabrera). With a supposed age of 250,000 years, these amazing stones are testimony of primitive life which would sum up the origin of civilization before the Inca Empire. Visit them. The museum is on the Ica Town Square.
