Church of the Company of Jesus

Worth visiting. Beautiful architecture. The facade is very ornate and unique to Arequipa. Photography is allowed inside but is discourage during mass. There is a museum at the left side altar. The museum ticket gives access to the capilla de san ignacio and a small eucharistic exhibit.picture taking is not allowed inside the domed chapel and exhibits. Has a beautiful ornate double courtyard being used as commercial and dinning place.

Start the visit with the adjacent cloister and finish with the basilica. It is part of the Unesco patrimony. It's construction started in 1590 and took about a century to be completed. As Arequipa is in a seismic zone with frequent earthquakes, the basilica had to follow a special design with robust arched vaults and small windows.

This beautiful barroque church from the early 17th century is totally worth visiting. We visited in early May between 3:15-3:45pm and the light made the place even more magical!

Nice church, free entrance. Next to the main square so is worth it to pay a visit

Main façade of the church of the company of Jesus of baroque mestizo style - stone material from Misti volcano - plaza de armas Arequipa (1590-1618)

The Company has stores and cafés, you can take a ride and shopping . A nice place

The facade is intricately carved and the interior is filled with baroque details. Don't miss the small side chapel with its colorful wall paintings. It's definitely worth the small entrance fee.

Great stop
