Among the secular buildings of interest are the former mosaic of the Casa de la Moneda and the Casa Moral mansion, as well as the cozy central square of the Plaza de Armas, rebuilt in a characteristic colonial style. More than 250 local mansions are considered to be the architectural heritage of mankind. A separate point are the picturesque bridges Arequipa - Puente-Bolognese and Puente-Fierro (by the way, designed by Eiffel himself).
