MONTENEGRO, Alfonso de (mon-tay-nay'-gro), clergyman, born in Spain; died in Lima, Peru, in 1553. He was chaplain to the army of Belalcazar, lieutenant of Pizarro, on his march from San Miguel De Piura to Quito. He entered the city with the conqueror, and wets the first apostle of this country. He was soon followed by other Dominicans, and laid the foundations of the immense Dominican convent and church of Quite, which, although their walls are cracked by earthquakes, are still among the most imposing buildings of South America. He governed his order in Quite, with the title of vicar, up to 1551, when he was recalled to Lima. He is believed to have founded the convents of Guayaquil and Loja.
