Colonial architecture in Peru
The artistic production of Spain's colonies in the New World followed the historical development of styles previously established in Spain developing in the meantime some original features. In Peru there were skilled native artisans and their style, with its unique mix of Spanish and indigenous elements, flourished until the last quarter of the 18th century when durable monumental architecture had been achieved. Most of the buildings of this time, including the cathedrals, were built for military purposes and were consequently massive and plain. This was a period of transition from Spanish Gothic to Spanish Renaissance. Buildings, reminiscent of the plateresque style, have contrasting bare walls with ornamented doorways, elaborate and intricate ornamentation was often employed, particularly in later times. During the 18th century the sumptuous Churrigueresque ornamentation of Spain was exported to the colonies. In addition to employing the large forms and curving lines of the traditional European baroque, Spanish colonial buildings maintained the contrast between decorated and plain surfaces of the earlier period.
