The house of Marquis don Francisco Pizarro

was located where today is the Portal de Panes;

there can still be seen the remains of the Inea

construétion known as Cassana which was given

to fl"ancisco Pizarro. He did not build a house

upon the site, being at that time eng.aged in a

civil war, and in the construction of the city of

Lima. The sitie was transferred by him to Juan

P1ancorbo, another oonqueror, who sold

it

to the

Franciscan fathers, and they built their convent

there. When the Franciscans moved to their pre–

sent location they sold their former home to the

Celiorigo family, descendants of Pancorbo.
