Casa del Virrey Sobremonte, Colonial residence in Luján, Argentina.

The Casa del Virrey Sobremonte features a single-story layout with brick walls and traditional Spanish roof tiles, following eighteenth-century architectural patterns.

Manuel de Pinazo ordered the construction of this house in 1772, which later served as a refuge for Viceroy Sobremonte during the British invasions of 1806.

The building holds five thematic rooms that present different aspects of Argentine history through exhibits, documents, and period furnishings.

The historic residence opens daily to visitors as part of the Provincial Museum Complex Enrique Udaondo, offering guided tours in multiple languages.

Local legends tell of hidden treasures within the walls, connected to the wealth transported from Buenos Aires during times of conflict.
