Arequipa conserves one of the best
architectural treasures in the colonial time of Peru, expressed maybe in its
best way in the temples and religious convents and also in its beautiful elegant
largehouses. The features and architecture of this city were due to five
factors: the isolation of the communication roads, the telluric movements
(earthquakes), the ashlar, the wooden absence due to be located in a deserter
area and their people's unbroken spirit. The nickname of the city "Ciudad
Blanca" (White City) was given because of the whiteness of their houses and
buildings made in white ashlar, contrasting with the bright blue sky. |
