Comment
The mojinete roof is an indisputable feature of Moquegua province architecture. It is a triangular or trapezoidal gable roof, with a window in the center.The interior of the dwelling usually has a flat ceiling. This form of construction creates a film of air that protects the room from sudden temperature changes and keeps it cool throughout the day.
The succession of houses built with these roofs, despite the simplicity of their construction, gives the streets of the town of Moquegua a very attractive and singular visual impact.
