Don Jeronimo de Aliaga, a nobleman from Castille, Captain of Spain, Admiral of the Seas, co-founder of Lima and founder of the first University in the Americas, built his house in 1535, on the grounds of the Palace of Taulichusco, the last Inca governor of the Rimac (Lima) Valley.
Today, the Casa Solariega De Aliaga is the jewel of Colonial Lima, located in the heart of the Historical Center. Home to 16 generations of Aliagas, this ancestral mansion is the oldest private household in continuous use in the Western Hemisphere.
