Built in 1935, Palacio de Torre Tagle is an impressive architectural example of the Viceroyalty of Peru. It features a baroque Andalusian style with stone-carved arches, porticos, and balconies made of Moorish art wood. It was created for Spain native, Jose Bernardo de Tagle Bracho Perez de la Riva, the man selected as Marquis of Torre Tagle by the King of Spain, Philip V. It has served as the headquarters for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 1918 and was restored from 1954 to 1956 by Andres Boyer, a notable Spanish architect. It is also home to one of the most significant art collections in the city, provided by Manuel Ortiz de Zevallos.
