The Plaza de Armas of Arequipa is the pulsing heart of a provincial city rich in history and local culture.
Its inhabitants express a fierce loyalty to their city, rivaling that of any Parisian or New Yorker.
Theres even a joke that Arequipeneans need a passport to visit the rest of Peru.
In 1735 Bishop Cavero built a three-story high fountain topped by the image of an archangel that the people named Tuturutu.
On the north side of the Plaza is the impressive, twin-towered Cathedral, founded in 1612 and largely rebuilt in the 19th century following repeated damaged from earthquakes and fire.
