Walking away from San Francisco there is a park that has been built around the old wall that sorrounded Lima. Lima, just like any other spanish colony, had a wall encircling the city for defense purposes. The wall was later opened at the Rio Rimac and the expanded toward Cerro San Cristobal and later on the expansion went on to meet Callao, our port. The park of the Muralla has a small museum (1 sol entrance fee) that tells the story of the wall and there are some ceramics and utensils on display from colonial times. The park in itself is nice place to stop and rest from the fast times of centro Lima.

  • Directions: Passing San Francisco, away from the centre heading toward Rio Rimac
