Peruvian architecture is a conjunction of European styles exposed to the influence of indigenous imagery. Two of the most well-known examples of the Early Colonial period are the [[Cathedral of Cusco]] and the [[Church of Santa Clara of Cuzco]]. After this period, the mestization reached its richer expression in the [[Baroque]]. Some examples of this [[Baroque|Baroque period]] are the [[Convento de San Francisco]], the [[Iglesia de la Compañía]], and the facade of the [[National University of San Antonio Abad in Cuzco|University of Cuzco]] and, overall, the churches of [[Church of San Agustín, Lima|San Agustín]] and [[Iglesía de Santa Rosa|Santa Rosa]] of [[Arequipa (Department of Peru)|Arequipa]].

Although these later examples are rarer; the [[The Independence of Peru|Independence War]] left a creative emptiness that was filled by the [[Neoclassical architecture|Neoclassicism]]. The 20th century was characterized by the [[Eclecticism|eclectic]] architecture, which has been in stark opposition to [[Functionalism (architecture)|constructive functionalism]]. Its considerable example is [[Plaza San Martín (Lima)|San Martin Plaza]] in [[Lima]].
