Cloisters of The Company : info and guided tour

Overview of Cloisters of The Company

The Cloisters of The Company in Arequipa refer to the cloister attached to the religious complex of the Society of Jesus, on Gral. Morán 118, in the historic center of the city. This site attracts visitors for the elegance of its arcades and for the peaceful atmosphere it offers in the heart of a lively district, close to the main landmarks of the old town.

The complex is linked to the religious and urban history of Arequipa, a city marked by remarkable colonial heritage. The cloisters stand out for their regular arches, light stone columns and the restraint of their composition, which highlights the light and the sense of space. The architecture reflects the local style often associated with sillar, the volcanic stone emblematic of the city.

This site is especially appreciated for its architectural harmony and for the contrast between the refinement of the details and the simplicity of the space. The cloister galleries, patios and interior façades create an ensemble representative of Arequipa’s religious art. It is a place sought out by visitors interested in colonial heritage and the atmosphere of former convents.
