Casa De La Riva Aguero

Jirón Camaná 459, Lima, Peru
Tel: +51 1 4277678 Web: Visit this site »
 

Built in the last part of the 18th century, this house was named in honour of its last proprietor, the distinguished writer Don Jose de la Riva Aguero. The Roman floor plan-introduced by the Spaniards-characteristically found in Lima, harmoniously integrates the ceramic tiles from Seville skirting the plinth of the interior walls. The passing of time and generations through the house is clearly reflected in the different styles of furnishings. It currently belongs to the Universidad Catolica and houses the Instituto Riva Aguero Museo de Arte Popular, the Centro de Etnomusicologia, dedicated to Andean music, as well as a vast library and historic archives, with over 60,000 volumes. Admission: 2 soles Students: 1 sol
