Casa de los Marqueses de Miraflores
A 17th-century colonial aristocratic residence, now a cultural center, with displays on the La Mama Negra festival and colonial history.
This colonial residence, with its courtyard and arcades, once belonged to the Marquises of Miraflores. After restoration, it became a municipal cultural center. Its permanent exhibits cover the history of Latacunga, religious art, and the costumes and masks of the La Mama Negra festival, and it often hosts temporary exhibitions. Admission is free or a nominal fee. It is a few minutes’ walk from the central park and fits well into a tour of the old town.
