Experts' Choice Award Palacio de Torre Tagle
What the experts agree on
Lima's most pristine colonial mansion showcases an ornate baroque portico and distinctive Moorish-style balconies that exemplify early 18th-century elegance. Now the Foreign Ministry, it rivals any of the city's churches in architectural detail.
“This mansion sums up the graceful style of the early 18th century. Flanked by a pair of elegant balconies, the stone entrance is as expertly carved as that of any of the city's churches.”
