History

The building was built on a huaca. It dates back to May 1536, at the beginning of the founding of the city, and belonged to Conquistador Jerónimo de Aliaga y Ramírez [es]. It was destroyed by the 1746 Lima–Callao earthquake and rebuilt by Juan José Aliaga y Sotomayor. In the 19th century a series of works were carried out.^[1]

The original construction was made of quincha and adobe. The architecture is eclectic in style due to several changes made since its construction. The styles present are Renaissance, Mannerist, Baroque or Neoclassical.^[2]^[3] It has 18 rooms and real estate from the time.^[4]

Part of the city's historic centre, it was declared a World Heritage Site in 1991, having already been declared part of the Cultural heritage of the Nation in 1972.
