The Convent of Santa Catalina Monastery was built in 1579 and is located in the historical centre of the city of Arequipa. It served as a cloister for Dominican nuns from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, and still houses a small religious community today. Built in the Mudejar style, the Monastery is distinguished by its vividly painted walls.
In this image. The orange tree cloister is named because of the presence of five orange trees. Arequipa, Peru.
