Huaca Casa Rosada

Huaca Casa Rosada is an archaeological site located in San Miguel District, in Lima, Peru [1]. The site presents evidence of human occupation from the Intermediate period to the Inca period and remains from the Spanish colonial and Republican periods [1]. The archaeological site consists of a square-shaped structure of approximately 36 meters on each side and around 3 to 4 meters high, formed by rammed earth and adobe to build a platform [1]. The huaca has structures with big adobes that were filled with earth and wall fragments to serve as the base for the house of Republican period, known as "Casa Rosada", made with Quincha and wood walls [1]. 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 [1]. During excavations in the early 2000s, compartments made of rammed earth walls were found at the top of the building, below the Republican house [1].
