Casona Tristán del Pozo, Colonial mansion in Arequipa, Peru
The Casona Tristán del Pozo is a mansion on San Francisco Street, built from white volcanic sillar stone with intricate carved details. The interior features spacious rooms with large columns that support the building's strong structure.
The building was commissioned in 1738 by General Domingo Carlos Tristán del Pozo and his wife Ana María. This founding marked the start of an important architectural landmark in Arequipa.
The building shows mestizo baroque features with medallions and symbols that represent family connections. These artistic details shape the impression you get when walking through the rooms.
The building is now run by a bank as a museum and art gallery that is open to the public. Visitors should note that opening times apply on weekdays and may differ on weekends.
Inside the house is a collection of ancient coins that surprises visitors. The doors display names of citizens connected to local educational institutions.
