Palacio Torre Tagle
Built in 1730 for the Marques de Torre Tagle (Treasurer of the Spanish Royal Navy), one of the best examples of 18th century residential colonial architecture in Lima especially the carved wooden balconies on the exterior and the interior courtyard (el patio). 
It's virtually impossible for people to see the courtyard of the palacio because it is now owned by the Foreign Affairs government ministry, but Lucia is a very strong and inspiring woman so I was allowed in for 5 minutes! The woodwork of the Balcones is incredibly beautiful..
