Detail InformationEdit

The Iglesia de la Compañía ot the Church of the Company is one of the many churches in the historic center of Arequipa, located between the Municipality Portal and Portal de Flores. This church was built by the Jesuits in the Peruvian city of Arequipa is one of the most outstanding examples of architecture called Mestizo. Inside the church one can see carved wooden altarpieces covered in gold leaf. In the sacristy is the Chapel of St. Ignatius, with polychrome murals showing the tropical flora and fauna. The cloisters were built in the eighteenth century.
The construction of the Church of the Company began in the year 1590 and was completed in 1698 under the direction of Brother Philip. As in other buildings of Arequipa, the material for its construction came from the quarries of the Misti volcano. The physical properties of this volcanic rock stone make it very easy to work but difficult carving in depth by its porous texture. This led to the development of a type of surface decoration, as in the case of the Iglesia de la Compañía, beyond limits of cover in large tapestry.
