Palacio Iturregui
A nineteenth-century neoclassical mansion with golden-yellow walls, finely wrought-iron window grilles and a colonnaded courtyard.
Palacio Iturregui was built in the mid-nineteenth century and is one of the most magnificent mansions in Trujillo. Its neoclassical style features golden-yellow walls with white columns, and the windows and courtyard railings are finely crafted in wrought iron. The courtyard is enclosed by slender Corinthian colonnades. General Iturregui, a hero of Peru’s independence, once lived here. It is now a private club (Club Central), and visitors can usually only see the courtyard from the entrance, though paid admission to the interior is available at certain times. It is located at the intersection of Pizarro and Junín streets.
