Jesuit temple, maybe the
most important one in
Arequipa due to its
history and tradition,
with a beautiful façade
with carved columns,
laurel crowns, flowers,
birds, etc. A more
careful look at the
façade, however, reveals
the limits of European
influence, as the angels
have Indian faces; and
indeed one face is even
crowned with feathers.

the XVII century and
opened to the public in
