Fodor's Review:

Considered one of the most magnificent structures in South America, this mansion sums up the graceful style of the early 18th century. Flanked by a pair of elegant balconies, the stone entrance is as expertly carved as that of any of the city's churches. It currently serves as a governmental building and is not open to the public, but you can often get a peek inside. You might see the tiled ceilings, carved columns, and a 16th-century carriage. Across the street is Casa Goyeneche, which was built some 40 later in 1771, and was clearly influenced by the rococo movement.

No doubt the architecture is to be admired, but the setting makes it difficult to admire it--a narrow, busy, dirty street, surrounded by unremarkable buildings.
