Riva Agüero House

This house was constructed in the eighteenth century by the Riva Agüero family, whose last member, the distinguished Historian Jose Riva Agüero, donated it to the Pontificial Catholic University of Peru . This building stands out because of its elegant balconies, and inside of this there is a yard decorated with Andalusian-style wooden balconies.

This is the headquarter of the Riva Agüero Institute of the Catolic University in Lima, conserving an interesting historical file and a library being simultaneously used by the local Museum of Popular Art of the PUCP, located in Jr. Camana 459.
