1016 PE - Historical Centre of the City of Arequipa (2000)

Brief Description

"The historic centre of Arequipa, built in volcanic sillar rock, represents an integration of European and native building techniques and characteristics, expressed in the admirable work of colonial masters and Criollo and Indian masons. This combination of influences is illustrated by the city's robust walls, archways and vaults, courtyards and open spaces, and the intricate Baroque decoration of its facades."

阿雷基帕城历史中心

"秘鲁阿雷基帕城历史中心由火山岩石建成，它代表了欧洲与本土建筑技术、风格的融合，这些技术和风格体现在殖民宗主、克里奥尔人和印度人的作品中。城市灵动的城墙、拱门、拱形屋顶、院子、开阔的空间，以及建筑正面复杂的巴洛克式装饰，这些都表明了欧洲与本土风格的双重影响。"
