Abstract
The cemeteries give evidence of the ideas of different societies in different times; these ideas can be observed in the iconography and in the legends found in their monuments. At the same time, these places are open files of their own towns and cities: names, dates, historical details, inhabitants´ feelings; all written down in headstones and monuments, tracing also social and cultural facts. Visiting those places is a way of getting to know something of the local history. In the specific case of the Presbytery Maestro Museum, the thumbs and monuments are historical and aesthetics testimonies of the social development of the city. Therefore, it is a main task to protect and preserve this patrimony in order to save the collective local memory; it will also permit to keep this patrimony for further studies and for everyone admiration, the most important statue collection of Peru.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
