Casa Matusita
A 1909 house at the corner of Garcilaso de la Vega and España avenues in central Lima, Peru, famous for stories of paranormal activity.
1909 CE · -12.05, -77.03 · status: legend
The account
It takes its name from a hardware firm that used the ground floor from the 1950s to 2005. Legends tell of a Persian woman burned by the Inquisition and of other horrors, and the second floor was demolished in 2016 as unsafe.
The sceptical view
The legends conflict and cannot be documented; some predate the house itself.
