History

The delegation of what was then the European Economic Community in Lima opened in March 1991.[1] It was concurrently accredited to Bolivia until 1995, when a delegation opened in La Paz.[2] Despite the presence of the delegation, bilateral relations between both entities were formally established in 2000.[2]

The delegation was previously housed at 165 Pasaje Alberto Lynch, in San Isidro District, Lima,[3] after which it operated at its own building in Comandante Espinar Avenue 719,[4] which was eventually demolished in 2016.[5]

It is currently housed at the fifth floor of the Edificio Cromo 332, a seven-storey LEED-certified building that also houses the Embassy of Colombia in Lima.[6][7]

Residence

The ambassador's residence is located at Pezet 515,[8] a building next to Lima Golf Club designed by Austrian architect Hans Hollein and built from 2006 to 2011.[9][10][11]
