Museo de Arte Precolombino

On the same square as the Hotel Monasterio, the Pre-Colombian Art Museum occupies a palace built for the conquistador Alonso Diaz. The building was renovated to house the country’s first museum dedicated to ancient art in 2003. Within the central courtyard, you will find the glass box that houses the gourmet restaurant, MAP Café, and in its cloisters and galleries are rooms of gold objects, jewelry and sculpture from the Nazca, Mochica, and Inca cultures among others.
