Casa Barragán, Cultural heritage building in Lima District, Peru
Casa Barragán stands at the intersection of Jirón de La Unión and Avenida Emancipación, featuring Art Nouveau architectural elements from the early 20th century.
Inaugurated in February 1913, the building gained recognition as the Palais Concert café-cine-bar, where intellectual figures gathered to exchange ideas and socialize.
The structure served as a meeting point for writers César Vallejo, Abraham Valdelomar, and José Carlos Mariátegui, who shaped Peruvian literary movements.
The building sits near Plaza Italia and Plaza San Martín, with Casa de Aliaga, Casa Fernandini, and Casona Osambela within walking distance.
Research by Nader Chumbiraico Cabrera examined the specific facade treatment, documenting the architectural elements that define this republican-era structure.
