La Perla de La Paz, Commercial building in La Paz, Mexico
The structure stands at the intersection of downtown La Paz, featuring a preserved stone facade from its original 1860 construction and department store history.
Don Antonio Ruffo Santacruz established La Perla de La Paz in 1860 as the largest trading house on the Baja Peninsula, supplying goods to miners and residents.
The building received Historical Heritage status from Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology in 1986, marking its role in regional commerce development.
Following a 2006 fire that damaged most of the structure, the department store operations moved to an adjacent building while maintaining the original facade.
The establishment supplied the Baja California Peninsula with imported products including sugar, fabrics, fragrances, and specialized tools for local mining operations.
