Know the real name of the founder of Arequipa. The White City was not founded in Camaná or San Lazaro.
Before the foundation was here the conquistador Francisco Pizarro and no one knows why the city did not found

Arequipa in the history of more than one surprise. More than four centuries of officially become different versions circulating on its foundation and authorities. But the deeds of the notary at the time, to the contrary.
the day and year of the founding of Arequipa is correct (15 August 1540). But in the name of the founder there is an error, it is not Garci Manuel de Carbajal as argued by some historians and posters produced by the Provincial Municipality. Helard
Fuentes Rueda, director of the Regional Archive, says that this version does not conform to reality, says the real founder is Garcia Manuel de Carvajal. Fuentes paleographer, historian and archivist, he devoted his life to the study of public deeds.
"The oldest document is read García Manuel de Carvajal, and with" v "not Garci Manuel de Carbajal" he says.
The oldest record of our city is the notary Alonso de Luque 1539, ie, one year before the English foundation.
AREQUIPA WHERE WAS FOUNDED?
On the foundation of our city, there are three versions: San Lazaro, Camana and the Plaza de Armas. In 1891 the historian Francisco Javier Delgado noted that the foundation of Arequipa had taken place in the Plaza de Armas and rule out other options, such as San Lázaro. For its part Helard Sources said that "the geographical area of \u200b\u200bthe Plaza de Armas was the most appropriate and met the urban patterns and therefore could not be elsewhere."
turn, Fuentes ruled that the foundation was made in Camaná for three reasons: There is no charter, no no knowledge. No acts of distribution of land (blocks). Nor possession of agents (owners).
But what is there in Camaná Cabildo on April 3, 1540. In this council as authorities were, as mayor Alonso de Cabrera and ordinary mayors were Pedro Manuel Barroso and Garcia de Carvajal. Also at the meeting
empower and Luis Manuel García León and efforts to make grants to achieve for the people, both travel to Lima, but Garcia is back as Lieutenant Governor.
PIZARRO IN AREQUIPA
The presence of Francisco Pizarro in Arequipa is evident. There are two dates recorded by the notary Alonso de Luque. September 15 1939, Francisco Pizarro gives power to López de Alarcón (one of the founders). This version was published by historian Victor M. Barriga in 1939 in his book DOCUMENTS FOR THE HISTORY OF AREQUIPA, volume 1 page 33-34.
On September 13, 1539, Pizarro appoint three Council members to Chachapoyas. The Conqueror had a fixed stay in our city, had to withdraw to attend Yucay at the call of the rebel Manco Inca. Why Pizarro founded Arequipa if it was before the foundation? For now it is an unresolved question. Founding
The original record of the founding of our city does not exist. Only one copy fragmented, ie half. Was Francisco Javier Delgado historian who in 1891 found the founding of Arequipa. This finding was accidental and was in the second book of meetings and agreements. But the first book of meetings and agreements do not exist (1539-1545).
WHO WAS THE FIRST MAYOR OF AREQUIPA?
So far no one knows who was the first Mayor of Arequipa. In the minutes of Arequipa Foundation appears as mayor Juan de la Torre, but in the deeds of the period and the earliest record of our city of Alonso de Soto, in 1540, appears as mayor Juan Flores. Just in 1541 Juan de la Torre appears as mayor of Arequipa. That is another mystery yet to be resolved.
