Casa O'Higgins, Colonial museum in Historic Center, Peru.
The Casa O'Higgins occupies a restored colonial building on Jirón de la Unión street, steps from the Plaza de Armas in central Lima.
After his departure from Chile in 1823, military leader Bernardo O'Higgins lived in this residence until his death in 1842 during his exile in Peru.
The building functions as a cultural center managed by the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, featuring exhibitions about regional history and heritage.
Visitors can explore the museum free of charge from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 20:00, with closures on Mondays.
The second floor of this building served as the first location of the International Bank of Peru in 1897 before becoming the Astoria restaurant.
