Quinta Leuro, Cultural heritage estate in Miraflores, Peru.
Quinta Leuro is a country house in Miraflores combining neocolonial and Mediterranean architectural features along Avenida 28 de Julio. Its facade displays decorative elements and terracotta roof tiles that define its appearance.
The house was designed by Italian architect Lidio Mongilardi in the early 1900s on land that formerly belonged to Juan José Leuro y Carfanger. This construction marked a period when Lima embraced European architectural styles and influences.
The house became part of Peruvian literary tradition when writer Julio Ramón Ribeyro set a story there, capturing the spirit of life within its walls. The tale preserved memories of how people experienced this place during an earlier era.
The property sits along a main avenue in Miraflores and is accessible by several public transportation options serving the district. Visitors can find it easily in an established residential neighborhood.
The Ministry of Culture granted this house national cultural patrimony status in 1987, officially recognizing its importance to Peru's heritage. This protection ensures the building and its historical significance are preserved for future visitors.
