The Aliaga House is a colonial style building located in the historic center of Lima. The building would have been built on top of a huaca. The building dates back to May 1536 at the beginning of the foundation of the city. It belonged to Don Jeronimo de Aliaga y Ramirez. It was destroyed by the Lima Earthquake of 1746 and rebuilt by Juan José Aliaga y Sotomayor. In the nineteenth century a series of works were carried out, the original construction was made of quincha and adobe. The architecture is eclectic in style due to several changes made since its construction. The styles present are renaissance, mannerist, baroque or neoclassical. The current owner is Gonzalo Jorge de Aliaga Ascenzo, VIII Count of San Juan de Lurigancho.
