Let me tell you about a fascinating piece of architecture in Arequipa that most tourists never get to see: the Ingenieria civil. It’s a stately building with a fascinating story. The Ingenieria civil was once a vital hub for education in Arequipa, and the National University of San Agustin was founded here in 1828. Over time, the university spread out to other locations and this building became the home of different offices. The structure is a beautiful example of traditional Arequipa architecture, with its white stone facade, arches, and vaulted ceilings. The volcanic stone called sillar that this building is made of has been used in Arequipa for centuries and has stood the test of time, It makes many of these buildings, including the Ingenieria civil, some of the strongest in the world. Can you imagine what it would be like to study in a building so grand with such a strong and proud history?
