Casa Concha

Casa Concha is a colonial building with thick stone walls and open courtyards in central Cusco. The house holds a collection of over 360 archaeological objects from various periods, displayed throughout the building's rooms.

The building was constructed in the 16th century when Spanish colonizers controlled the city and rebuilt it. They reused stones and foundations from earlier Inca structures that had stood on this site.

The mansion was built during colonial times using Inca stones, and you can still see how Spanish and indigenous building techniques came together. Visitors notice this blend immediately in the walls and courtyards, which show how two cultures existed side by side here.

The museum is located in Cusco's historic center and opens daily, making it easy to reach. You can take your time exploring the rooms and exhibits at your own pace.

The museum holds the largest collection of Machu Picchu objects outside of Lima. These artifacts came together during early excavation work and show visitors daily what life in the ancient city was like.
