Casa de la Capitulación

Quinua's wonderfully named Casa de la Capitulación (House of Capitulation) was where Spanish Royalist troops signed their surrender after the War of Peruvian Independence. They did not have much choice, having just been defeated in a battle now marked by the distinctive obelisk that looms above the village. Crucially, these events led to the end of colonialism in Peru.
