The Basilica and Convent of Our Lady of the Rosary (a.k.a. the Convent of Santo Domingo) is a Catholic complex located in the historic center of Lima, Peru. The church dates to the early 16th century.
Within this complex is a library which houses about 25,000 books, including the oldest books the Dominicans used. Several of these are ancient manuscripts and rare books, including valuable bibliographical collections. You are allowed to look at the books, but exploration of these delicate collections is reserved for VIPs.
It is among the oldest libraries in the Americas.
