Arequipa - Casa del Moral

The Casa del Moral is an impressive and well preserved, 1730 Baroque-mestizo mansion named for the centuries old mulberry tree in the courtyard. The mansion, one of the largest colonial homes in Arequipa, is built around a central courtyard. There is also a second courtyard, painted in blue, which was once the summer patio. The interior of the Casa del Moral is furnished in period, with art from the Escuela Cusqueña. There is also a library with more than 3,000 books of Hispanic literature.

Casa del Moral was restored in 1994 and is now owned by the Bancosur.
