ATTRACTIONS

By the time the building was built, the baroque style had been imposed as the architectural structure and design par excellence, in contrast to this, the Casa de Goyeneche was one of the first architectures to show its French influence. Both its portal and its balconies incorporate decorative elements of the rococo style, which can also be seen in the interiors of the house.

Today, La Casa de Goyeneche houses in its interior an exquisite collection of colonial and republican art, the rooms have been decorated with furniture and valuable objects of the time.
In May 1971 the Banco de Credito del Peru acquired La Casa Goyeneche, and by R.S. N° 2900 of December 28, 1972 it was declared Cultural Patrimony of the Nation.
