The house is a typical colonial-age dwelling, and was built near the end of the 17th century by mayor Diego Bazan y Figueroa. It has three courtyards, one of them surrounded by rooms.

Due to its bad condition, it was almost completely demolished in 1903, but it was reconstructed in its original form (based on photographs and documents of the time) in 1941, and it was declared a National Historical Monument the same year.

The House of Tucuman is an ancient home located in the city of San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina. It is one of the most iconic buildings in the city and a symbol of the local culture and history.

It is renowned for its unique Moorish-style interior, which includes a courtyard, balconies, and a central stairway.

Since its construction, the House of Tucuman has been a witness to the city's development, as well as to the political and social changes that have taken place over the years. The building is currently owned by the government and is open to the public as a museum. Visitors can explore the house's many rooms, from the library to the kitchen and the garden. The house also features a range of historic artifacts, including furniture, paintings, and other objects. In addition, the house also offers workshops, lectures, and other activities to educate people about the history and culture of the city.
