Trujillo - Casa Orbegoso

Casa Orbegoso was once the residence of the former Peruvian president, Luis José de Orbegoso. This huge colonial mansion from the 1700s on the corner of Bolívar and Orbegoso, takes up much of the block. Painted in yellow and brown, the house has its own square which faces the San Agustín church.

The interior features a collection of art and period furnishings. Moorish-Christian paintings decorate the entrance. Some of the furnishings on the lower level are originals from the time the house was built. One section of the house still belongs to the descendents of Orbegoso.
