Casa Marcionelli, Historic building in Historic Centre of Lima, Peru

The Casa Marcionelli stands at Jr. Carabaya 955, featuring a three-story structure with Colonial Revival architectural elements and ornate window frames.

Built in 1923 by Swiss entrepreneur Severino Marcionelli, the building housed mining company offices and served as the Swiss consulate until the late 1940s.

The building represents the influence of European immigration in Peru, particularly the Swiss community's contribution to Lima's architectural and economic development.

Before its destruction by fire in 2023, the building was being converted into a hostel and exhibition space near Plaza San Martin.

During protests in January 2023, a fire consumed the structure, leaving only portions of the first floor intact despite firefighters' extensive efforts.
