AddressJirón Áncash 536[1]
OwnerNational Afro-Peruvian Museum

The House of the Thirteen Coins (Spanish: Casa de las Trece Monedas) is a historical building in the neighbourhood of Barrios Altos, in the historic centre of Lima, built during the Viceregal era of Peru. Since 2009, it houses the National Afro-Peruvian Museum.[1]

History[edit]

Its architectural style is French Rococo, from the second half of the 18th century.[2] It shows a slender doorway, cornices with flower motifs, and small windows with curved panels.

The building belonged to the López-Flores family, Counts of Puente Pelayo.[2] It owes its name to the thirteen coins found in the coat of arms of the owner family. Currently it is the headquarters of the National Afro-Peruvian Museum, but it was also once the headquarters of the Institute of Mathematics and Related Sciences of the National University of Engineering.[3][4] In 1972 it was declared Cultural heritage of Peru.[2]
