House of the Marquess of Saint Lorenzo of Valle Umbroso, Colonial mansion in Cusco, Peru.
This colonial mansion features traditional adobe walls, carved wooden balconies, and a symmetrical façade that demonstrates the architectural preferences of the Spanish colonial period in Peru.
Built during the 16th century Spanish colonization period, the house served as the residence of the Marquess de Valle Umbroso and witnessed centuries of political and social changes in colonial Cusco.
The building represents the fusion of indigenous construction techniques with European architectural styles, embodying the cultural synthesis that characterizes Cusco's colonial heritage and social history.
Located on Marqués Street in Cusco's historic center, the house can be viewed from the exterior and is often included in guided heritage tours exploring the city's colonial architecture.
