One of South America's most magnificent buildings, Palacio de Torre Tagle shows off the grand colonial architectural stylings of the early 18th century. The palace was built in 1730 by treasurer of the Royal Spanish Fleet, José B. Tagle, whose coat of arms remains above the door to this day. Pay special attention to the intricately carved wooden balconies on the patios. The Peruvian foreign ministry now operates out of this venerable building. The only way to gain access is by guided tour, so do your research before arriving.

at least in passing it is worth stopping to observe its façade as the ultimate expression of the baroque of the city of Lima. You can also visit the Interior but prior permission because now is home to a Government Ministry

In the historic centre of Lima, 3 blocks from the Plaza Mayor and declared by Unesco, this wonderful building today houses the State Department of Foreign Affairs of Peru. His name is Marquis de Torre Tagla, built at 1,735. Has wonderful staircases and grand halls, but the visitation is allowed only in the courtyards. Still, it's worth, the inner courtyard is beautiful, and the impressive woodwork, columns, balconies and doors. This not to mention the arcades of Arab influence, on wooden columns. It is said that in a interior gave rich Golden 16TH century carriage.
