Casa Matusita, Colonial building at Garcilaso de la Vega and España avenues, Lima, Peru
The two-story Casa Matusita features a traditional architectural design with white walls and large windows facing the central district of Lima.
The structure dates back to colonial times, with records showing its presence in 1862 when the Lima Penitentiary opened across the street.
Local residents share numerous tales about supernatural events within the building, making it a subject of Peruvian urban mythology.
The first floor houses a bank branch, while the second floor underwent reconstruction in 2016 following structural concerns identified by municipal authorities.
The building gained its name from Matusita S.A., a hardware company that operated on the ground floor from the 1950s through 2005.
