One of the first churches we discovered on our recent (May 2009) trip to Peru was the Church of Saint John the Baptist (San Juan Batista) in Yanahuara, a very nice suburb of Arequipa.

This church, with its elaborate stone facade, was built in 1750, a period when a WHOLE BUNCH of churches were being built in the area. I took the pictures above during a stop on our four-hour tour of the city.
