Palacio Veneciano

An underground tunnel that was part of the property passed under the river, ending in a house among the street, where a large amount of gold coins were found by its owner, a man with the last name of Barbieri, who hid his treasure by claiming to have found success in the oil industry.

Mr. Barbieri later bought and restored a property owned by the Villar de la Fuente countship located in Piedra St. which later served as the headquarters of the Board of Lima (Spanish: Patronato de Lima).

As a result, he was jailed under conspiracy charges it was expropriated and what was left of the treasure looted.

However, such plans did not take place, and the area served first as a parking lot and later as a street market.
