Itinerary
We will meet at the selected time at Peru Square, where the Casa de Aliaga is located, one of the oldest buildings in Lima.

The history of this mansion dates back to the times of Francisco Pizarro, when the conqueror from Extremadura distributed the plots of the newly founded Lima among his men. Among them was Jerónimo de Aliaga y Ramírez, who at only 16 years old went to the Indies and ended up becoming one of the conquerors of Peru. The Aliaga lineage has been living in this house since its construction in 1535. Did you know that it is the same age as the city of Lima?

The Aliaga House has also witnessed important moments in Peru's history, serving as a refuge during the Republic for President Miguel Iglesias, Rear Admiral Aurelio Garcia and Generals Manuel Velarde and Antonio Bentin.

We will tour the luxurious halls of the Casa de Aliaga while we learn about the history of this family that has lived there for 17 generations. We will visit the tiled living room and the bedrooms decorated with Louis XVI style furniture, French carpets and Japanese vases. From the large windows of the lavish dining room we can see the courtyard and its English fountain of the nineteenth century.

Another point not to be missed is the chapel, whose walls were covered with silver plates that were stolen in a looting during the War of Independence.
