About Historical Centre Of Arequipa
The bustling Historical Centre of Arequipa is known for Plaza de Armas, where the huge Basilica Cathedral exhibits religious artwork and relics in a museum. The volcanic stone, 16th-century Santa Catalina Monastery offer tours of its villagelike citadel. Markets sell jewelry, traditional sweets, and handicrafts made from alpaca wool, and nightlife ranges from low-key pisco bars to boisterous Irish pubs.
