San Francisco Artisan Gallery

The Artisanal and Tourist Center is located in the heart of the Historic Center of Lima, Zone A1 according to Ordinance 062 of the Administration Regulations of the Historic Center of Lima. This area presents Special Regulations to consolidate its role as Metropolitan Service Center, Interdistrict Commerce, and Tourist Attraction by reinforcing its social-administrative, cultural, tourist, and recreational character, energizing the use of urban spaces.

The architecture of “SAN FRANCISCO - Centro Artesanal y Turístico” presents a respect for the volumetric and formal integration of the pre-existing, which is why the main façade and the buttresses necessary for its stability have been fully respected. The volumetry proposes a sobriety and formal freedom in its entirety without forgetting the interrelation between the new interior space and the existing façade articulated by a central space with equipment that helps this transition, reinforcing the intention of dialogue between the two.
