The entire old town, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, is filled with baroque buildings constructed from sillar, a white volcanic stone. At its center is the leafy Plaza de Armas, a stately main square from where the city grew and which serves today to attract families, visitors, vendors and musicians.

The program will be accompanied by Mr. Pell’s photography.
