Peruvian architecture is the architecture carried out during any time in what is now modern-day Peru , and by Peruvian architects worldwide. Its diversity and long history spans from Ancient Peru , the Inca Empire , Colonial Peru to the present day. Peruvian colonial architecture is the conjunction of European styles exposed to the influence of indigenous imagery. Two of the most well-known examples of the Renaissance Period are Cathedral and the Santa Clara Church in Cusco. After this period, cultural mixture reached richer expression in the Baroque . Some examples of this Baroque Period are the Convent Of San Francisco De Lima , the Church Of The Compañía and the facade of the University Of Cuzco and, overall, the churches of San Agustín and Santa Rosa of Arequipa , its more beautiful exponents. The Wars Of Independence left a creative emptiness that Neoclassicism of French inspiration could just fill. The 20th Century is characterized by the Eclecticism , to which the Constructive Functionalism has been against. The most considerable example is San Martin Plaza in Lima . SEE ALSO |
