Casa de Moral
Located in Arequipa, Casa de Moral is an ancestral house built around 1730. It is a sample of Andean Baroque civil architecture and is recognized as part of the cultural heritage of Peru. When you visit, you can pick out the baroque architecture style used throughout the building, which helps define the visual character of the area. I should mention that the house gets its name from a centennial tree of moras that grows in the center of the main patio. It is a wonderful spot to see how the city's history is preserved in its stone. I always find that the shade of that old tree makes the courtyard feel like a different world compared to the busy streets outside. It is a great place to pause and look at the details of the carved walls before moving on to your next target.
