Once Peru gained its freedom from Spain,the Region of Arequipa continued to be an important hub in the economy of the country. The beautiful Republican Colonial buildings raised in Arequipa combined the styles of the l800s and early l900s. During the booming years of Peru's growth several important and attractive structures were built. Throughout Arequipa are several Republican style buildings representing the best of those times.
These architectonic gems can be visited principally in downtown Arequipa and its surrounding areas. Below there is a list of interesting places.

Building of the first church began in 1544, but the structure was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 1604. A new building was built between 1621 and 1656, but it was destroyed in 1868 by another earthquake. The current building dates from the late 1800s and was made out of a whitish volcanic stone known as "Sillar." The towers were rebuilt in 2001 due to structural damage caused by an earthquake.
