    Empty! (7 am on a sunday)

    This wide pedestrian street is the main avenue in Lima, at least for tourists. It goes from San Martin square to Plaza de Armas and is all day and night busy and crowded (well, the photo was taken at 7am on a sunday!).
    There are many shops, bars and even old colonial buildings along the street. Is the place for souvenirs in case you are looking for that.

    Near the Plaza de Armas, by the corner where the Pizarro monument is, you will find this beautiful building wit an inner arcade with many shops, apart from the mailboxes, stamps and so. There are even bars and souvenir shops in here and, even though you are not buying anythin, is a good place to walk around.

    The Central Post Office is located in this nice Colonial Building just a block west of the Plaza De Armas. Inside is a small postal Museum.

    Around the Plaza de Armas you'll e able to find many interesting buildings. One of them is the Casa de Correos y Telégrafos (post office). This magnificent building today hosts shops where you can find different items, and it's in any case to walk around if you have the time.

    Lima's Plaza de Armas, or Main Square, is the heart of the Lima and the starting place for touring its nearby monuments. The Cathedral, Municipal Palace and many examples of colonial architecture surround the plaza.

    Casa Osambela
    by RORRO72
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Mansión construída por un comerciante español, Martín de Osambela, en la primera década del siglo XIX. A mediados del siglo XX la adquirió José de la Asunción Oquendo y posteriormente el Estado, albergando desde 1985 el Centro Cultural Garcilaso de la Vega. Se distingue de las demás casonas por disponer de una fachada de tres plantas, coronada por un mirador, y porque no tiene los típicos dos balcones volados, sino que seis. Se dice que desde el mirador el dueño miraba sus embarcaciones en el puerto de Callao.
