La Catedral
Location:
La Plaza de Armas
Arequipa, Peru
Historical Building
V!VA User‘s Description
Framed by the majestic snow-capped peaks of El Misti and Chachani, La Catedral is truly one of the most spectacular sites in Arequipa. While construction of the church began in 1544, much of its edifice was destroyed during an earthquake in the 17th century. Then, in 1844 it was completely destroyed by fire. The present-day façade that dominates the Plaza de Armas bears a neoclassical style. Inside you'll find one of the largest organs in South America, and an elaborately carved wooden pulpit adorned with a menacing serpent-tailed devil.
