Casa Matusita

Casa Matusita is a historic building in Lima, Peru, located at the intersection of Garcilaso de la Vega and España avenues. Built in 1909, it has a rich history tied to the Lima Penitentiary and is steeped in urban legends and paranormal lore. Visitors are intrigued by tales of a Persian woman accused of witchcraft, mysterious mass poisonings, and the dramatic experiences of a television host who claimed to have encountered ghosts. The building's name comes from a hardware company that occupied its first floor for decades. Despite its dilapidated state leading to the demolition of its second floor in 2016, Casa Matusita remains a focal point for those interested in Lima's haunted history and conspiracy theories surrounding its past.
