Overview
-
Arequipa city was founded in 1540 in a place specially chosen for its natural beauty and good climate, and with a unique construction material: sillar , a porous stone from volcanic lava used to built a nice city with our own architectural designs, with spaces and proportions of great esthetic value, and also to have carvings on imposing fronts with fine decorative details, making of Arequipa a colonial center of marked identity, within the main urban centers of the continent.
Its architectonic style is mainly colonial but of a mestizo nature.
