La Catedral (The Cathedral) - Arequipa

 

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)
