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

The Palacio de la Magdalena is a viceregal mansion on the north side of the Plaza de los Libertadores in Pueblo Libre, Lima, facing the district's municipal palace. It is one of the most notable examples of colonial civil architecture in the district, alongside the Casa Hacienda de Orbea. Part of the adjoining land and some of its rooms were remodelled to house the National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and History of Peru.

The building rose during the shift from Spanish colonial rule to Peruvian independence and quickly became a center for key events of that era. Important military leaders involved in the independence campaigns stayed there and used it for strategic decisions.

The house is called Quinta de los Libertadores because José de San Martín and Simón Bolívar stayed there during the independence campaigns. It was the residence of Joaquín de la Pezuela, penultimate viceroy of Peru, and in 1972 it was declared a national monument. Part of its rooms now belong to the National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and History of Peru.

The mansion sits on the north side of Plaza Libertadores within a quiet residential neighborhood filled with other historic buildings. Visitors should look carefully at the wall paintings and wooden craftsmanship to fully appreciate the handmade details throughout.

During the War of the Pacific (1879-1883), the palace housed the government of President Francisco García Calderón, the only national administration recognized by the Chilean Army during the occupation of Lima until late 1881. This made it the seat of Peru's recognized authority while the capital was occupied.
