The 6 Best Sacred & Religious Sites in Arequipa, Arequipa Region

March 7, 2022 Toi Mattera

In Peru's second-most populous city, aka "The White City," stunning colonial buildings made of pearly sillar stone vie for attention with the surrounding volcanoes and snow-capped peaks of the western Andes. Founded in 1540, it's a smorgasbord of mansions and museums. The top attraction, 215,000-square-foot Santa Catalina Monastery, is like its own city within a city, complete with fountains and cobblestone streets. Arequipa is the favorite base for visiting Colca Canyon and its massive condors.

San Francisco Plaza, Church and Monastery

Church and monastery from the 16th century.

Reviewed By Skaramoosh - Edmonton, Canada

Located in the Old Town of Arequipa. it's about a ten minute stroll ,roughly northwards, from the Cathedral. Another beautiful historical building with a plaza in front of the church. Another must see for lovers of architecture and history and of course the Christian faith. Highly Recommended!
