1
Plaza de Armas (Plaza Mayor)
It was originally the square of the pre-Hispanic town of Lima, where in 1535 the conqueror of Peru, Don Francisco Pizarro, founded a new capital city for our country which he called "City of the Kings". This beautiful space is surrounded by buildings of great importance such as the Government Palace, considered the office and residence of the Peruvian president, the Municipal Palace, the Archbishop's Palace and the magnificent Cathedral of Lima, among other buildings that together form the perfect setting for one of the most beautiful squares in Latin America.

Museo Convento San Francisco y Catacumbas
the Catacombs located below the Convent of San Francisco de Asís: a historic Lima cemetery whose underground vaults, dating from colonial times, served to bury more than 25,000 people. This has made them very popular, making them a highly visited place in the historic center of the Peruvian capital.

3
Cathedral of Lima
Fundada por Francisco Pizarro, comenzó como Iglesia Mayor en 1535, hasta que el Papa Pablo III la elevó a Catedral el 14 de mayo de 1541. La Catedral resume la historia de la ciudad de Lima, no solo en el ámbito eclesiástico, sino también político y artístico. La antigua Catedral sufrió varias transformaciones a lo largo del tiempo, debido a los sismos de gran magnitud que se vivieron en la ciudad de Lima y a mejoras estéticas. Los estilos que convergen en ella a través de las obras de arte sacro que alberga son renacentista, manierista, barroco, rococó y neoclásico. Bajo sus bóvedas, se encuentran enterrados los restos de figuras emblemáticas y cofradías.
