Edificio Rímac, Beaux-Arts palace in Lima, Peru
The Edificio Rímac exhibits French architectural elements across its four floors, featuring arcades, garlands, medallions, pilasters, and individual mansards on the facade.
Polish architect Ricardo de Jaxa Malachowski completed this structure in 1924 during Lima's construction boom under President Augusto B. Leguía's government.
The building stands as Peru's first multi-family residential complex, containing 69 apartments distributed throughout its floors with street-level access options.
Located near Plaza San Martín in Lima's historic center, the structure extends 84 meters along Roosevelt Avenue and 70 meters on Jirones Carabaya and Unión.
Three internal courtyards provide natural light and ventilation to apartments, while one of Lima's first Otis elevators serves the building's residents.
