The Basilica Cathedral of Arequipa, located in the Plaza de Armas of Arequipa, Peru, is a stunning example of neoclassical architecture with slight Gothic elements. Constructed primarily from sillar, a white volcanic stone native to the region, the cathedral's facade is both grand and elegant. Originally built in the early 17th century, it has undergone several reconstructions due to earthquakes.
