Casa Museo José Carlos Mariátegui

The rooms where the Peruvian writer José Carlos Mariátegui spent the last five years of his life form the Casa Museo José Carlos Mariátegui. He moved into the house in 1925, and the museum presents his life and work, and that of his wife, Anna, through the way each room of the household was used.

The house itself dates from the early 20th century and was declared a National Historic Monument in 1972. The museum opened on June 14, 1994, marking the centenary of Mariátegui's birth. It suits visitors interested in Mariátegui's writing and in seeing the domestic setting where he lived and worked.
