The Cathedral -
Arequipa (Photos
Š Jorge Mazzotti)
It is
considered one of the first seventeenth
century religious monuments of the city.
It is built of sillar (ashlar) with a brick base. Destroyed by
fire in 1844, it was rebuilt in 1868 by
the Arequipa architect Lucas Poblete. He
used a Neoclassical style and placed the
entrances of church on the flanking naves.
In 2001, the building was struck hard by
an earthquake, which seriously damaged its
towers. (PromPeru)
