    La Catedral - The Cathedral of Lima: colonial lima,plaza mayor,cathedral
  • Tip Rating:
  • plaza mayor,ex plaza de armas was the heart of the city,in conquistador francisco pizarro's times....you'll find his tumb inside the cathedral.
    a square keeping a provincial spelling,rather rare nowadays through south america big cities....
    ... visited not only by tourists tours but mainly by a lot of pupils....

    the cathedral looks really as a spanish one...i mean,in one moment,you forget where you are really...just imagine you are in deep spain!
    built in 1551...rebuilt after 1746 earthquake
