Casa de Aliaga

The "Casa de Aliaga" is Lima's oldest Colonial mansion, and possibly South America's oldest. Since 1535, when Francisco Pizarro granted the land to Jerónimo de Aliaga, the Aliaga family, and their descendants have owned and lived in the house. Originally, a pre-Colombian altar stood on the plot of land owned by "Curaca Tauli Chusco" (the reign of the Rimac valley). Even though time, weather, and pollution appear to be gradually destroying the facade, the beautiful balcony remains impressive. The interior is absolutely stunning: the inner patio is spectacular, and an imposing wooden staircase leads up to the elegant salons, which are richly decorated with Colonial furniture.

The Casa Aliaga is accessible via special tour operators in Lima or by prior arrangement with the Casa Aliaga. They can also recommend specialized private tour guides if you want to visit on your own. Or arrange a stunning (but pricey) lunch or dinner with them. An incredible experience! This is considered one of the best places to visit in Lima.
