The Monastery of Santa Catalina was founded by Viceroy Francisco Toledo, during his visit to Arequipa. He was informed by the Cabildo of his desire, years before, to found a monastery of nuns. This motivated him to grant the necessary licenses for the founding of the private monastery of nuns of the Order of Saint Catherine of Siena.
Years later, Doña María de Guzmán, widow of Diego Hernández de Mendoza, a beautiful, rich, and young woman who had no children, decided to retire to the monastery under construction, handing over all her assets to it. On September 10, 1579, the Report and capitulation of the foundation of the monastery was made, signed between the city council, Justice and Regiment and the Bishopric of Cusco, and the city council handed over the four lands of its property for its operation, naming Doña María de Guzmán as the first inhabitant and prioress of said monastery.
