historic centre of Lima. Surrounded by Santa Rosa, Cuzco and Ayacucho (formerly Urubamba)[1] streets, it serves as the headquarters of the Public Ministry of Peru
.

History

The building was built in 1952, during the government of

Abancay Avenue,[2] at the time of its widening.[3]

The tender for the construction of the building was awarded in December 1949 to the firm Gramonvel S. A. for a budget of S/. 25 million, and with a completion period of 24 months.[4]

Its exterior is decorated in marble, with a series of bas-reliefs on the front, the work of Artemio Ocaña [es] and Luis Felipe Agurto Olaya. The interior, on the entrance level that faces the main avenue, has a mural by Teodoro Núñez Ureta in the lobby.[2]

During the 2022 protests against the government of Dina Boluarte, the building was attacked on different occasions by protesters.[5][6]
