Huaca Casa Rosada

Huaca Casa Rosada is an archaeological site located in San Miguel District, in Lima, Peru, which occupies a total of 5300 square meters in the current urban area.

[1] Unfortunately, as a result of the urbanization of the area, known as "Urbanization Pando, second stage", the surrounding land was subdivided into new properties and for the construction of the new houses the beams and columns of the Casa Rosada were used as construction material, destroying totally the republican vestiges.

Despite being enclosed, Huaca Casa Rosada went through a period of neglect until July 2024, when, thanks to an initiative by a collective of local residents and with Eduardo Bless serving as mayor of San Miguel, the site underwent cleaning, lighting installation, and revitalization to serve as a venue for cultural activities.

During the archaeological excavations carried out between 1973 and 1974, by the “Seminario de Arqueología” of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, fragments of turned and glazed pottery, earthenware and imported fine ceramics from the 16th-18th centuries were found.

In particular, fragments of French earthenware, 5 mm thick, with floral motifs painted in fine lines in a blue tone on a white background were found.
