Casa de Clorinda Matto de Turner, Colonial mansion in Plaza San Francisco, Cuzco, Peru.
The Casa de Clorinda Matto de Turner exhibits Mannerism architecture with intricate stone patios and detailed mural paintings throughout its interior spaces.
Built in the 17th century on former Inca terraces, the property transformed from Bishop Fernando de Vera y Zúñiga's residence into the Matto family home.
The house bears the name of a notable Peruvian writer who contributed to indigenous literature and rights during the nineteenth century.
The building now functions as the Gerencia Departamental Cusco of EsSalud and includes a dedicated center for senior citizens activities.
During restoration work in the 1970s, workers discovered traditional stone courtyards and historical wall paintings hidden beneath years of modifications.
