At 9 km (5.5 miles) from the Arequipa City (15 mins by car approx.) built in ashlars at the border of a cliff is one of the most traditional and important mansions of the department.

According to the legend, Garci Manuel de Carvajal, the founder of Arequipa city, commanded its construction for his son. Later on, in 1785, Don Juan Crisóstomo de Goyeneche y Aguerreverre became its owner and remodeled it giving to it its particular señorial characteristics.
