Casa de Fernandini, Cultural heritage building in historic center, Lima, Peru.

Casa de Fernandini is a two-story corner building at Jirón Ica 400 in Lima's historic center, with a curved corner section and a pale peach facade. Tall dark wooden shutters sit between white ornate moldings and columns, fronted by a black wrought-iron balcony with scrolling patterns. The ground floor is painted dark gray-blue, with arched windows behind iron grilles and a dark arched entrance at the corner, where a green traffic light stands.

The house was designed in 1913 by architect Claude Sahut during the period when European architectural styles shaped residential buildings across Lima. It represents a transition point between traditional and modern design approaches in early-20th-century Peruvian architecture.

The house was built for mining businessman Eulogio Fernandini de la Quintana, his wife Isolina Clotet Valdizán and their family, and it now operates as a house museum hosting cultural activities. Its eclectic style pairs Rococo rocaille and grotesques with Art Nouveau woodwork, railings, window and door grilles, stained glass and iron-and-glass lamps.

The house is located in the historic center near Teatro Municipal and functions as a house museum with regular cultural activities and exhibitions. Visitors can explore the interior rooms and view the various salons with their decorations.

The central hall is covered by a skylight of iron and glass, called a farola in the sources, which lights the surrounding salons.
