Palacio de Torre Tagle

The Palacio de Torre Tagle (also referenced as Casona de la Torre Tagle or Torre Tagle Palace) is a two-storey Baroque colonial mansion in the historic centre of Lima. Sources date its construction to around 1735 and identify it as an exemplar of colonial-era domestic architecture in Lima, notable for its elaborate carved wooden balconies and ornamentation. The building presently houses offices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru and is routinely included in walking tours and tourist guides to central Lima, where it figures among other historic casonas and university buildings in the dense colonial urban fabric near the Plaza Mayor. The provided research notes and sources focus on architectural, cultural, and institutional significance; they do not record any paranormal lore, named spirits, hauntings, or unusual phenomena associated with the site.
