Peralta Adobe

Located at the south end of Kelley Park, this beautiful park, with 27 original and replica homes, businesses and landmarks, highlights periods of Santa Clara Valley's past.

Walk through history and visit the beautifully restored Peralta Adobe and Fallon House in downtown San José, located at the end of the restaurant district in historic San Pedro Square.

The Peralta Adobe is San José's oldest address. Built in 1797, this oasis in the urban heart of San José illustrates the area's Spanish and Mexican periods. The exquisite Fallon House, built in 1855, showcases the Victorian influence on San José. Uniquely situated across the street from one another, you'll discover two rich periods of San José's past.
