Quinta de Presa, Colonial mansion in Rímac, Peru
The two-story Quinta de Presa mansion spans 15,159 square meters and features Rococo architecture with French influences, displaying light colors across its exterior.
Built in the 18th century, this estate originated from a 1727 mill owned by Isabel de la Presa before Pedro José Carrillo de Albornoz constructed the recreational house.
The mansion represents the architectural preferences of Lima's colonial elite, incorporating French palace designs adapted to local Peruvian construction methods and materials.
The property remains closed to visitors while undergoing restoration work funded by the World Monuments Fund, with completion expected in 2024.
This mansion stands as the only French Baroque-style country house constructed in the Rímac district during the colonial period of Lima.
