Castillo Rospigliosi

The Castillo Rospigliosi is a historic residence in Lima that currently serves as the Peruvian Aeronautical Museum. Visitors go here to view a collection of aircraft and artifacts documenting the history of aviation in Peru. The site combines the architecture of a private estate with a technical museum focused on flight.

Getting There

The castle is located in the Santa Beatriz district. From Lima's city centre, you can reach the site via taxi or ride-sharing services. The journey typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the city's traffic conditions.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 2 to 3 hours to walk through the grounds and view the aviation exhibits.

When to Visit

Visiting during weekday mornings is generally quieter than weekends. Since the exhibits are located in an open-air or semi-covered environment, it is advisable to visit during the drier months to avoid the coastal humidity and mist common in Lima.
