Palacio de la Magdalena, Colonial mansion in Pueblo Libre, Peru.

The Palacio de la Magdalena exhibits Spanish colonial architecture with stone walls, wooden balconies, and interior courtyards on the north side of Plaza Libertadores.

The palace served as lodging for Liberators José de San Martín and Simón Bolívar during the Peruvian independence campaign in the early nineteenth century.

The building stands as a testament to Peruvian civil architecture, representing the transition period between colonial rule and the emergence of independent Peru.

Visitors can access the palace and explore its grounds through guided tours, which include detailed information about the building's architecture and historical events.

During the War of the Pacific, the palace functioned as the government headquarters under President Francisco García Calderón while Lima was under Chilean occupation.
