An
eighteenth century house, constituting one
of the oldest and most important
architectural monuments from the Arequipa
Baroque period. The house owes its name to
an ancient blackberry tree that grows in
its main patio. Inside, furniture from
Peru’s Colonial and Republican epochs is
on display. The main entrance of white
sillar stone is a work of art in which you
can admire carefully carved figures. For
example, there is a crown suspended above
a coat of arms that is held up by two
angels, the coat of arms is composed of
tinier carvings of a castle, a bird, a
puma, and two crossed keys. In the same
way, the room of sixteenth century
“antique” maps of America stands out. (PromPeru)
