La Casona de San Marcos is one of the most important buildings of Lima, both from the historical and architectural point of
view.
Located in the old building of the Noviciado de San Antonio Abad and of the Real Convictorio de San Carlos, and popularly
known under the name of Casona de San Marcos, it is the oldest of the seats currently occupied by the University and one
of the most important non-religious historical buildings in the city of Lima. Founded as a Jesuit novitiate, it became the
university's headquarters between 1875 and 1966, when most of its administrative offices were moved to the campus of
the University City. The Casona de San Marcos is the main reference of the cultural and artistic activity of the university,
and one of the best preserved constructions of the colonial era in Lima.
