WELCOME TO FUNDADOR HOTEL

The Hotel Fundador is a modern hotel located on a colonial house made of sillar (EL SILLAR: it is a volcanic stone in Arequipa city, which was used for the constructions of temples, palaces and houses in the city in the colonial period). In the traditional town of San Lázaro

The history of the San Lázaro town is very old. In pre-Inca times, the site was occupied by the Yarabayas cultures as well as Collas, Lupacas, Tiahuanacos, Carumas, Ubinas and others. At that time the site was probably, called Llallinhuayo. After the Inca occupation, the Spanish arrived and founded the city of Arequipa in 1540. Then, the first houses were located in this town. it is said that the name is for the chapel of 'San Lázaro', by the Dominican order. Others persons said that it is for the resurrection of one the habitants.

At the beginning, the town was home to the Spanish and Dominican monks. It also served as a market. Some houses and streets in the town were damaged by successive earthquakes that occurred in 1555, 1582, 1784, 1821, 1948, 1958, 1960, 1979 and 2001. In the 20th century, the town was preserved and protected. In 1972, the INC declared it a Monumental Urban Environment. Because it is part of the Historic Center of the city, it is considered a World Heritage Site (2000) by UNESCO.

The streets of the San Lázaro town are colonial and small, is very traditional. Some of the most famous streets have a typical names Bayoneta street (with a old strret), Crystals street as well as Naval Combat Alley. Also notable is the Camporredondo square (is for to the Spanish general who lived there), which was a small market and today is called the Matorral square.

A curious fact is about the found of Arequipa, some books said the foundation were here, in these square, but its not true. The founding of the 'White City' but the foundation were in Plaza de Armas.

Ripacha is the name of one street in San Lázaro town. This name is also given to a traditionally baked wheat bread, which stands out for its delicious flavor and the custom of eating it for breakfast accompanied by 'adobo' (traditional Arequipeñan dish).
