Entirely built (and rebuilt after earthquakes, the last of which, in June 2001, brought down one of its two bell towers) in sillar, a white volcanic stone, it displays its seventy columns, its three doors and its two lateral arches on a whole section of the plaza de Armas: the "facade" that one discovers is in fact only one of its sides. Inside, there are some interesting paintings and sculptures, a monumental altar made of Carrara marble, large organs made in Belgium and a pulpit carved in Lille by a certain Rigot.

La cathédrale donne sur la plaza de armas et il est facile d'y aller gratuitement (c'est payant si on souhaite visiter le musée et grimper sur les toits). L'intérieur est assez sobre, mais cette cathédrale mérite quand même le détour pour son autel en marbre et sa très belle chaire notamment.

Magnifique cathédrale, façonnée par de talentueux bâtisseurs dans la pierre blanche, caractéristique de la ville. Ne pas se cantonner à l'admirer de l'extérieur, l'intérieur est également de toute beauté et surprendra plus d'un curieux.

La cathédrale d'Arequipa est belle, massive, imposante et c'est elle qui domine la place d'Armes. On peut y entrer gratuitement pour admirer sa splendeur.

Je conseille vivement la visite de cette cathédrale imposante et massive dont la particularité est qu'elle est plus large que haute. Il faut entrer à l'intérieur pour voir l'autel monumental en marbre de Carrare.

Allez-y pour la chaire spectaculaire et l'intérieur de cette belle cathédrale. Veillez toutefois à vous cacher les épaules et les jambes pour avoir l'accès.
