When the Congress of Peru first met in 1822, meetings took place at the same site in what was then the main building of the
University of San Marcos.[2] Construction on a new legislative building began in 1904 based on the design of the French architect Emilio Robert. While the building served several political functions over the following decades of construction, it was not permanently occupied until 1938 during the presidency of Óscar R. Benavides
