Tour Details

At your chosen time, we'll meet in Perú Square where House Aliaga, one of the oldest buildings in Lima, is located.

The history of this mansion dates back to the time of Francisco Pizarro. This conquistador from the Spanish region of Extremadura divided plots of land in Lima among his men, including Jerónimo de Aliaga y Ramírez, who became one of the conquerors of Peru. The Aliaga lineage has lived in this house since it was built in 1535, when Lima was founded.

Aliaga House has witnessed important moments in Peru's history. During the Republic, the house served as a place of refuge for President Miguel Iglesias, Rear Admiral Aurelio García, and Generals Manuel Velarde and Antonio Bentín.

We'll explore the luxurious halls of the House Aliaga while learning about the family that has resided here for 17 generations. The visit will include the tiled living room and bedrooms decorated with Louis XVI furniture, French carpets, and Japanese vases. From the large windows of the main room, we'll view the courtyard and its 19th-century English fountain.

Another highlight is the chapel, whose walls were once covered with silver plates looted during the War of Independence.

After just under 3 hours touring the iconic Aliaga House, we'll conclude our guided visit and say our goodbyes.
