The History of the La Casa de la Ciencia

This historic building, inherited from the Spanish-American Exhibition of 1929.  It was the Peruvian Pavilion or Pabellón de Perú and is the work of Manuel Piqueras Cotolí (1885-1937), a renowned Spanish architect born in Lucena. Cotoli was born in Lucena (Cordoba) but moved to Peru to study architecture and became known for buildings which blended indigenous and colonial architecture which is easily visible from the outside of La Casa de la Ciencia as many parts of the building share similarities with Cotoli’s Peruvian works.

In the 1980s the building became the headquarters of the Biological Station of Doñana and since 2008 to the CSIC, who provide museum. The building also house the Peruvian Consulate.
