Viceroy's House, Colonial museum in Cartago Municipality, Colombia.

The Viceroy's House features traditional Andalusian architecture with coffered ceilings, clay brick structures, and thick quarry stone walls without foundations.

Construction of the house began in the late 18th century by Sebastián de Marisancena, a Spanish Creole who obtained a license from the Viceroy to populate inherited lands.

The building holds the Pedro Morales Pino Music Conservatory and the Luis Alfonso Delgado History Center, containing documents dating back to 1612.

Located on Calle 13 between numbers 4-29 and 4-53, the museum displays collections of old photographs and artifacts from Cartago's past.

The Historical Archive of Cartago contains over 400 years of documents, preserving written records of the municipality since its early colonial period.
