Castillo Forga, Historical mansion in Mollendo District, Peru
The Castillo Forga stands on a rocky promontory between the second and third beaches of Mollendo, featuring 17 rooms and mahogany staircases.
Built between 1908 and 1910 by textile entrepreneur Jose Miguel Forga, the property changed ownership ten times before being acquired by the town of Mollendo.
The castle received ministers, ambassadors, and President Augusto Leguia's daughters for social gatherings of Arequipa's upper class during the early 1900s.
A metal bridge installed over railway tracks serves as the entrance path to the concrete structure of the castle.
The building combines neogothic, neoclassical, baroque, and 13th-century medieval architectural elements in its design.
