Casa de Pilatos, Colonial building in Historic Centre, Peru

The Casa de Pilatos features a notable stone doorway extending across the entire wall height and two sections divided by an imperial staircase.

Built around 1590, the mansion survived major earthquakes in 1687 and 1746, with its second floor reconstructed during the mid-nineteenth century.

The property holds a designated status as Cultural Heritage of Peru and currently functions as the headquarters of the Constitutional Court.

Visitors can access the building through a side entrance on Azangaro Street between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM, and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

The entrance portal remains the sole stone-carved facade of its kind in Lima, exhibiting exceptional Spanish colonial architectural elements from the 16th century.
