Museo Bolivariano de Pativilca, Historical museum in Pativilca District, Peru

The Museo Bolivariano de Pativilca occupies a colonial building with wooden columns, traditional windows, and stone paving at the entrance. The structure centers around an interior courtyard and contains collections of period furniture, photographs, and historical documents from the early 1800s.

In 1823, Simón Bolívar used this house as his headquarters and recovered there from an illness. The building was declared a National Monument by the Instituto Nacional de Cultura through Law No. 9653 on 7 November 1942. It is now run by the municipality as a museum.

The house where Bolívar recovered from illness in 1823 is now a museum run by the municipality of Pativilca. Its permanent collection of paintings, books and household goods recreates the Bolivarian era, and the rooms are shown as a headquarters of the independence campaign rather than as a private home.

The museum stands half a block from Pativilca's Plaza de Armas, so it is reached on foot from the square. It is run by the district municipality, and the building is a declared national monument, so visitors should check locally for opening hours before setting out.
