The image of the Virgen de la Candelaria records its presence since 1580, on the Collao Plateau. In the year 1562, the San Juan Bautista Parish was founded in Puno, in compliance with the prelatural ordinance of the bishop of La Paz, and it was dismembered from the Paucarcolla parish, on which it depended administratively and parochially. Fact that the same year was brought to the attention of Viceroy García Sarmiento de Sotomayor, Count of Salvatierra, of the Viceroyalty of Peru. The chapel houses the image of the Virgen de la Candelaria. The Jesuit and Dominican missionaries were in charge of the catechization of the region.

In 1887, the temple was completely rebuilt, almost as it is today. In 1988, on the day of the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, Monsignor Jesús Mateo Calderón Barrueto, bishop of the Diocese of Puno, elevated the parish temple of ´´San Juan Bautista´´ to the category of ´´Sanctuary of the Santísima Virgen de la Candelaria´´ on February 7, 1988.

Located in the Pino park. Fist

Inside the main altar is the venerated image of the Virgen de la Candelaria, patron saint of Puno, whose festivity is celebrated every February 2 with indigenous dances and on the eighth the departmental folk festival of costumes of lights takes place. .

Another important aspect of this church are the three Gothic-style wooden altars with various sculptural groups and religious pictorial paintings.
