The preservation of its elements and artistic richness gives us an idea of its importance during the colonial period in Arequipa. It&#8217;s often said that a convent is like a city within another city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This saying becomes even clearer in Santa Catalina. The photograph gives us an idea of what we mean. The streets, houses, and the church\u2019s dome still preserve traces of their original significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The convent has several cloisters (interior courtyards). These are dominated by the robust shapes of its square-based pillars, whose corners have been chamfered. Above them rise semi-circular arches with decorative frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The structural design isn&#8217;t too different from other cloisters in Peru; however, there is a clear preference for solidity and resistance in the placement of its elements \u2014 something that perfectly fulfills the requirement of structural durability. Much of this is due to the stone material used, typical of Arequipa. Yet, the material alone does not explain the interest in a solid and austere architecture in Arequipa, especially when compared to its less decorated interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"832\" src=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/convento-santa-catalina-2.jpg\" alt=\"Convento de Santa Catalina\" class=\"wp-image-4052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/convento-santa-catalina-2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/convento-santa-catalina-2-768x426.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Convento de Santa Catalina<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_%E2%80%93_Church_of_La_Compania\"><\/span>2 &#8211; Church of La Compa\u00f1\u00eda:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jesuit church features a richly decorated portal. The contrast between surface or planimetric elements and volumetric ones reflects a particular character of this and other churches in Arequipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As seen in the image, four paired columns support the base of a large portal. The columns rest on pedestals and are decorated from the base up to one-third of the shaft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cornice is continuously broken. A small niche (space intended for placing a sculpture) rises above the cornices at the level of the semi-circular arch and connects to the choir window, which also functions as a niche. In addition, the second level features broken pediments with pinnacles on each side. The portal is crowned by a trilobed-arch pediment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The convent has several cloisters (interior courtyards). These are dominated by the robust shapes of its square-based pillars, whose corners have been chamfered. Above them rise semi-circular arches with decorative frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The structural design isn&#8217;t too different from other cloisters in Peru; however, there is a clear preference for solidity and resistance in the placement of its elements \u2014 something that perfectly fulfills the requirement of structural durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of this is due to the stone material used, typical of Arequipa. Yet, the material alone does not explain the interest in a solid and austere architecture in Arequipa, especially when compared to its less decorated interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the tympanum section, there is a small niche with a sculpture placed over a smaller ambo. The walls where these elements are inserted are richly decorated with flat reliefs characteristic of Arequipe\u00f1a architecture, highlighting floral and vegetal motifs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iglesia-de-la-Compania.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iglesia-de-la-Compania.webp 1600w, https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iglesia-de-la-Compania-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iglesia-de-la-Compania-1536x768.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_%E2%80%93_San_Francisco_Church\"><\/span>3 &#8211; San Francisco Church:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Franciscan church built its temple upon a platform accessed by steps. From this side, its thick buttresses can be observed, giving the temples their distinctive volumetric shape and remarkable solidity. The lateral door, without a decorative portal, has a simple semi-circular arch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the lower part of the church, there is a decorative portal that breaks the monochrome stonework so characteristic of the so-called \u201cwhite city.\u201d The sequence of pilasters with pedestals ends in a simple triangular pediment rising from a cornice on its single level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the Franciscan church, above the presbytery, stands one of the most impressive altarpieces in Arequipa. Its levels and floors are semi-circular in shape, following the contour of the church\u2019s apse. In the central niche, the image of the Virgin symmetrically divides the remarkable altarpiece \u2014 a clear example of how builders, sculptors, and architects followed the same style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iglesia-de-San-Francisco.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iglesia-de-San-Francisco.webp 1600w, https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iglesia-de-San-Francisco-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iglesia-de-San-Francisco-1536x768.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-contact-us\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Us\"><\/span>Contact Us:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, please contact us&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/\">DREAMY TOURS<\/a><\/strong>, we will be happy to answer all your questions about Peru,&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/bolivia\/\">Bolivia<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/chile\/\">Chile<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We specialize in tours and travel packages as a Travel Agency.
