Built around 1730, Moral House (Casa de Moral) in Arequipa, Peru, stands as a fine example of stylized baroque architecture. The name originates from the ancient moras (mulberry) tree that graces its central courtyard, rather than any ethical connotations. Visitors can explore a rich collection of historical artifacts, including maps, religious art, and Peruvian coins that date back centuries. The building’s intricate design and well-preserved interior offer a glimpse into the colonial era, making it a fascinating destination for history enthusiasts.
