Casa del Moral, Colonial mansion in Arequipa, Peru

The Casa del Moral features a grand stone portal with carved heraldic emblems and two interior courtyards built with white volcanic stone materials.

Built in 1733 by a Spanish knight, this residence underwent changes of ownership until 1944 when Banco del Sur acquired it and transformed it into a museum.

The interior spaces display a collection of Cusco School oil paintings, carved wooden doors, and a library containing 3,000 volumes of Hispanic literature.

Located five minutes from the Main Square, the mansion opens Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM with entrance fees of 5 soles for adults.

A centuries-old mulberry tree stands in the main courtyard, which represents the largest colonial residence courtyard in the entire city of Arequipa.
