UBICACIÓN GEOGRAFICA
Se ubicada en el casco histórico de Maracaibo, al Noroeste de la Plaza Bolívar justo en la Calle 95 “Venezuela” esquina avenida 5, conformando su entorno las edificaciones representativas de los Poderes Ejecutivos y Religiosos del Estado.

On the front façade there is a continuous balcony with wooden railings and on the side façade there are small windows and an elongated window with a small balcony.
A la entrada de la casa, la típica puerta de madera de dos alas de más de tres metros de alto que permanece abierta de día y cerrada de noche, la cual da acceso al zaguán, largo pasillo, que proporciona luz y fresco a la casa y en cuyo extremo se encuentra la portezuela de dos hojas que comunica directamente con la casa y que al permanecer cerrada permite mantener aireado y resguardado este lugar. Al traspasar el zaguán está el corredor que da a las habitaciones siempre comunicadas entre sí. En el segundo piso se repite la distribución de la primera planta.
At the entrance of the house, the typical wooden door with two wings of more than three meters high that remains open during the day and closed at night, which gives access to the hallway, long corridor, which provides light and freshness to the house and at the end of which is the double door that communicates directly with the house and that when closed allows to keep this place aired and sheltered. Passing through the hallway is the corridor that leads to the rooms, which are always connected to each other. The second floor repeats the layout of the second floor.

En la parte superior se puede notar pasillos angostos de madera y el techo con una cubierta de varas de caña, materiales constructivos muy propios de la época.
In the upper part you can notice narrow wooden corridors and the roof with a cane cane roof, construction materials very typical of the time.
En el centro se ubica el patio o jardín interno y el aljibe que antiguamente recogía el agua de las lluvias que de los techos de tejas bajaban por las cañerías, recolectando el agua que era pasada posteriormente a los tinajeros.
Aún en muchas casas del centro de la ciudad existen estos aljibes que debido al nivel freático característico de la zona, se hacen muy difícil de vaciar. En la mayoría de los casos simplemente se rellenan con escombros, que probablemente fue lo que ocurrió en el caso de ésta vivienda.
In the center is located the courtyard or internal garden and the cistern that formerly collected the rainwater from the tile roofs that came down through the pipes, collecting the water that was then passed to the tinajeros.
Still in many houses in the center of the city there are these cisterns that, due to the phreatic level characteristic of the area, are very difficult to empty. In most cases they are simply filled with rubble, which is probably what happened in the case of this house.

El diario de operaciones ilustra como fue el desarrollo de la batalla el 24 de julio de 1823, donde como consecuencia se consolidó definitivamente la independencia de las antiguas colonias españolas de la Nueva Granada y Venezuela.

Es una de las casas más antigua que existe en la ciudad de Maracaibo. Su relevancia histórica se debe a que en ella se firmó el acta de la capitulación de los españoles desapareciendo a partir de ese momento el yugo español. En ella tiene su sede la Academia de Historia del estado Zulia.
Te invito a conocer éste patrimonio cultural de mi ciudad, allí no solo conocerás una casa colonial del siglo XVIII además de los hechos históricos que emanan de ella.
It is one of the oldest houses that exists in the city of Maracaibo. Its historical relevance is due to the fact that the act of capitulation of the Spaniards was signed in it, thus disappearing the Spanish yoke. The Academy of History of the state of Zulia has its headquarters here.
