Peru and Cuba established relations in 1902.[1][2] After the Cuban Revolution, relations continued, but their troubled nature led to Peru to sever diplomatic relationships on December 30, 1960, leading to the closure of the Peruvian embassy.[3] After the establishment of Juan Velasco Alvarado's Revolutionary Government, Peru reestablished its relations with Cuba on 8 July 1972, which have remained since.[1][2]
On early 1980, a small group of Cuban citizens made their way into the embassy, instigating an international crisis over the diplomatic status of around 10,000 asylum-seeking Cubans who joined them over the following days after the Cuban government ceased its protection of the embassy.[4]
In the aftermath of the event, the embassy—then located on the 5th Avenue of Miramar[5]—closed and became the Militant People's March Historic Museum[6] (Spanish: Museo de la Marcha del Pueblo Combatiente) until 1988, when the expo was moved to the Municipal Museum at Marianao.[7][8] After a period of abandonment, the former embassy was demolished in the summer of 1999, becoming the parking lot area[9] for a tourist hotel[7][8] opened as the Novotel, and later known as the Occidental Miramar,[8] and ultimately as the Memories Miramar.
