Casa Museo Ricardo Palma
For Spanish-speakers only, the late 19th-Century home of Ricardo Palma, author of Tradiciones Peruanes and rebuilder of the national library after it was destroyed by the Chileans. The administrator of the foundation will give you an interesting personal tour, which takes about 45 minutes. For architects, a remarkably well-thought-through domestic design of plazas and other ventilation to keep air moving through the house. The foundation also sponors various public cultural events such as poetry readings and musical evenings.
