Casa Pinasco, Cultural heritage building in Plaza de Armas, Iquitos, Peru.

Casa Pinasco is a historic building in the historic center of Iquitos, built by Italian and German immigrants during the rubber boom. The Italo-German firm Luis Pinasco & Cía used it as a warehouse for spices and European goods such as tiles and wines. It is recognized for its architecture and its link to immigrant life in the city.

Casa Pinasco was built by Italian and German immigrants in Iquitos during the rubber boom. The Italo-German firm Luis Pinasco & Cía used it as a warehouse for spices and European goods such as tiles and wines. After the rubber era the company closed and the house was rented to the Instituto Nacional de Cultura. It later returned to the Pinasco family, whose last owner, Luis Alberto Pinasco, sold it to the current owners, who rent it to businesses.

Casa Pinasco was built jointly by Italian and German immigrant communities present in Iquitos during the rubber boom. The Italo-German firm Luis Pinasco & Cía ran it in its early years, and the building is valued as evidence of the immigrants' role in the city's trade and architecture.

The building sits directly on the Plaza de Armas, making it easy to find in the heart of Iquitos' old town. The various shops are open during standard business hours, and the exterior architecture is clearly visible from the square.

The building originally functioned as a specialized storage facility for spices and wines imported from Europe, goods that were highly valued in the Amazon region. This particular commercial focus made it a key point for luxury trade during the city's early development as a major trading hub.
