Bolsa de Valores de Lima

The Bolsa de Valores de Lima is an office building with seven floors and two basement levels located at the intersection of Jiron Carabaya and Santa Rosa streets. The structure was designed to serve as a center for stock trading and financial operations in the city's historic district.

The building opened in 1950 and served as the headquarters of the Lima Stock Exchange for several decades. In 2022, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs acquired it and transformed its purpose from financial trading to government administration.

The building displays architectural details from the mid-20th century that show how Peru's economy was developing at that time. Its location in the historic center connects it with other important government and business buildings in the city.

The building is located in the historic old town and is accessible via central streets and walkways. Walking through the surrounding area allows visitors to see nearby plazas and related historic buildings in the same district.

The building draws attention for its shift from a financial trading center to a government office, reflecting broader changes in how the city uses its important buildings. This transformation shows how the priorities of Lima's institutions have evolved over time.
