  • San Francisco Church. Just two blocks from the Plaza Mayor (previously called the Plaza de Armas) where the more well known Lima Cathedral is located, San Francisco Church . Once Lima's first cementary now a World Heritage site. Construction of the San Francisco Church began in 1546. The February 4th, 1656, earthquake toppled the church, necessitating its reconstruction, which was completed by 1672. Beautiful exterior!

    The church is very large and impressive. It also holds the remains of Francisco Pizarro. Apperantly the original remains was not of Pizarro (even though it was believed to be) but since they later found Pizarros remains, the proper remains are on display.

    The construction of the Cathedral began in 1564 and was finished in 1622, but a severe earthquake destroyed it in 1746 and it had to be rebuilt. The Cathedral combines gothic, neoclassic, renaissance and baroque styles. Beside the cathedral, on your left side if you look from the plaza, is the Archbishop´s Palace, another fine example of the colonial architecture.

    The guided tour inside the Cathedral is included in the price of the entrance ticket, but the guide will probably ask you for a tip after finishing his job... Besides beautiful chapels, paintings and sculptures, the visitor will also see the Tomb of the Spanish Conqueror Francisco Pizarro, the place where the remains of his body were found, the room where peruvian independence was proclaimed by San Martin and a nice exhibition of religious objects. I´ve enjoyed it!!!

    This Renaissance baroque cathedral built in 1625 and reconstructed following the earthquake of 1840, is a fine example colonial art. Although its somewhat plain on the outside, inside it contains splendid altars, handsome carved choir stalls and altars covered with gold leaf.
