DESCRIPTION

After the invasion to the city of Cusco, the Spaniards proceeded to the distribution of lots having corresponded to the conqueror Pedro Luis de Cabrera what we know today as the mansion of the Marquis of Valleumbroso. It was he who built it using Inca stones.

Later, the property was acquired by the first Marquis of Valleumbroso, who had the main body and the arcades of the first and second levels built with stone and pastel brick. The building belonged to the Marquis' descendants until 1803, when it became the property of Canon Luis Beltrán Parellón.

In the early twentieth century, the house was acquired by Mr. César Lomellini, who made a series of changes, but maintaining the original structure and the existing works of art in it. In 1978, the Ministry of Public Education acquired the mansion from the Lomellini family in favor of the current School of Fine Arts "Diego Quispe Tito" - Cusco.
