Casa de Fierro.

Casa de Fierro, a striking architectural gem in Iquitos, Peru, showcases the ingenuity of 19th-century design through its prefabricated iron structure, often mistakenly attributed to Gustave Eiffel. Built from rectangular iron sheets sourced from Belgium, its unique construction was part of a remarkable effort to transport the building during the rubber boom, adding to its historical mystique. The house, adorned with arches and a vibrant red roof, harmonizes European styles with local craftsmanship, reflecting Iquitos' eclectic cultural landscape. Now functioning as a warm, inviting restaurant, it offers a range of local and international dishes, alongside panoramic views of the Plaza de Armas. Casa de Fierro serves as a vibrant gathering place, celebrating both its rich history and the lively culture of the Amazon region.
