La Casa del Moral
One of our favorite places in Arequipa was the colonial mansion of Casa del Moral, built in the 1730s and named after a tree growing in its courtyard. It houses some really nice examples of colonial architecture and art as well as some later modifications: one of the later occupants was the Consul from Great Britain who, as an Anglican, felt that the multitude of Catholic altars would better serve as bars!
There is not a whole lot else to say about the house, other than enjoy the pictures!

Now I’m hesitating… If the nuns wont accept me, maybe I could move in with the consul?
