About
Casa Concha is a colonial-era house located in Cusco, Peru. Its name is attributed to one of its former owners, possibly Martín de la Concha y Jara, governor and intendant of Cusco around 1812, his descendant Martín Concha y Cámara, or even José Santiago Concha y Salvatierra, Marquess of Casa Concha.
Since 1972, the building has been part of the Monumental Zone of Cusco and was declared a Historic Monument of Peru. In 1983, as part of Cusco's historic center, it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site listing.
