History
editThe house was built in 1771 for Ignacio Cavero y Vásquez de Acuña and his wife, Micaela de Tagle, on the Ucayali street in front of the Torre Tagle Palace. Later, the house was the residence of José Matías Vásquez de Acuña, VII count of Vega del Ren, and his descendants.
In 1859, after having been bequeathed by Archbishop José Manuel Pasquel to the Santo Toribio Seminary, its rector sold the house to Colonel Juan Mariano de Goyeneche y Barreda. It was remodeled in 1863 by architect Michele Trefogli under the Doric order.
In 1894, Goyeneche's children inherited the house and in 1914 the younger sister, María Josefa de Goyeneche, Duchess of Goyeneche, became the owner. In 1928, after the death of the Duchess of Goyeneche, the house was inherited by her second nephew Pablo A. Rada y Gamio, who in 1940 sold it to the banker Enrique Ayulo Pardo.
It was ultimately acquired by the Banco de Crédito del Perú in 1971.[1]
