Casa-museo de Francisco Pizarro

The Casa-museo de Francisco Pizarro occupies a 15th-century building with two floors containing colonial-era furniture, documents, and maritime expedition artifacts. The courtyard and all rooms display the material world of the man who later conquered Peru.

The house where Francisco Pizarro was born carries a history linked to his early years and his later rise as the conqueror of Peru. The structure preserves the memory of a time when this town was a center of ambition and enterprise.

The collections display maps and navigation instruments that document Spanish exploration and settlement in South America. Visitors can trace through these objects the connection between this town and the expeditions that departed from here.

Access is through guided tours that cover both floors and the courtyard, with information available in multiple languages. It helps to check guide times beforehand to plan your visit smoothly.

The house garden holds plant species from Peru and other South American regions, creating a living bridge between Spanish and South American botany. This selection often surprises visitors and adds an unexpected layer to the experience.
