Tacna Prefecture, Historical administrative building on Blondell Street, Tacna, Peru

The stone structure features a classical facade constructed with materials extracted from the Arunta and Intiorko hills in the early 1900s.

The prefecture served multiple administrative functions during Chilean control from 1905 to 1929, including housing courts, prison facilities, and postal services.

The building reflects the architectural style of early 20th-century Peruvian administrative structures and stands as a testament to regional governance.

The building remains in a deteriorated state following the 2008 fire, with only the stone facade maintaining its original appearance.

The structure underwent modifications after 1929, including the removal of Chilean national symbols and the replacement of institutional inscriptions.
