Quinta Anauco, Colonial mansion museum in San Bernardino, Venezuela
The Quinta Anauco spans over 700 square meters with exterior corridors, two internal courtyards, and interconnected rooms arranged across multiple levels.
Built in 1797 by Juan Javier Mijares de Solorzano, the mansion later belonged to the Marques del Toro and hosted Simon Bolivar before his final departure.
The property houses the Museum of Colonial Art since 1961, displaying colonial-era artifacts and furniture that represent Venezuelan heritage from that period.
The restored mansion features stone construction, clay tile floors, cedar woodwork, and red tile roofs, maintaining its original architectural elements.
The grounds contained coffee plantations, sugar cane fields, and fruit orchards, while a water mill operated using the Anauco River.
