Casa Goyeneche

A 17th century manorial house located in La Merced street, the Goyeneche palace is built in white sillar, as most other important buildings in Arequipa's downtown. The traditional Colonial baroque style of the Casa Goyeneche translates into ample courtyards, arched ceilings, and typical doors and windows.

The mansion is home to a interesting collection of paintings from the Cusco and Arequipa Schools, and to some sculptures from the Spanish Granada School of the seventeenth century. It currently hosts the Central Reserve Bank branch offices in Arequipa and can be visited Monday through Friday, from 9.15am to 3pm.
