Summary/Abstract: An analysis of the public spaces around the house belonging to the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament (Casa de Alabado Santísimo Sacramento) was included at the beginning of this study. This was the starting point for further considerations aimed at clarifying the historical process of transformation of the property, house No. 581 on Chihuampata Street. The analysis was carried out using archival sources, i.e. notarial records recording the purchase and sale of lots and land, as well as wills and donations. A historical reconstruction of the properties was carried out using a retrospective methodology and using the book of the first census of the city of Cusco in 1862.
