Casa de Hernández, Colonial house in Salta Province, Argentina.

The Casa de Hernández stands near Plaza 9 de Julio with thick whitewashed walls, wooden openings, and traditional corniced entrance adorned with pilasters.

During the 18th century, Petrona Rodríguez Peñalba inherited the property from her father, contrary to earlier beliefs about Juan Hernández y Enríquez's ownership.

The building now functions as the City Museum, exhibiting artifacts and documents that tell the story of Salta's development through generations.

Visitors can explore both floors of the structure, which features ceramic tile floors, wooden beams, and colonial roof tiles maintained in their original state.

The corner house includes two entrance doors and corner balconies, indicating its past commercial function during the colonial period of Argentina.
