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

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!
