Description
These beautiful cloisters belong to the Compania de Jesus Jesuit church and are one of the most notable architectural monuments in the city of Arequipa in southern Peru. It is a superb example of the Andean Baroque style and like many colonial buildings in the city is built using a local white volcanic stone called sillar. Arequipa's historic colonial centre was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 2000.
