Garcilaso de la Vega's House, Colonial museum building in Cusco, Peru
The Regional Historical Museum occupies a two-level colonial building featuring stone walls, courtyards, and archways in central Cusco.
Built in 1534 by Pedro de Oñate, the house stands on Inca terraces and later became the residence of chronicler Inca Garcilaso de la Vega.
The museum displays collections across 13 rooms, including pre-Hispanic ceramics, colonial paintings, metals, and textiles from different historical periods.
Located on Calle Garcilaso at Heladeros, the museum presents exhibitions about regional history from prehistoric times through contemporary periods.
The building earned the UNESCO Blue Shield designation in 2021, making it the first protected monument in Cusco against conflicts and natural disasters.
