🎧 Listen to Introduction
Built on volcanic rock, Arequipa's historic center is a fusion of European and indigenous building techniques and features, as exemplified by the work of colonial masters and Creole and Indian stonemasons. This combination of influences is evident in the city's solid walls, arches and vaults, courtyards and open spaces, and the elaborate Baroque decoration of its facades.
