The Aliaga House is as old as Lima itself. When conquistador Francisco Pizarro founded the capital city on Jan. 18, 1535, he gave the plot adjacent to that of the Government Palace to his trusted ally Jeronimo de Aliaga, so they could be neighbors. Eighteen generations of the Aliaga family have resided in the same mansion ever since - it's been renovated continuously, but it's the oldest house in the Americas. Jeronimo's descendants currently live in a modern annex, but much of the original main house is on display.
A visit to Casa Aliaga is to truly step back in time!
