    La Catedral de Lima

    Next to the Archbishop’s palace resides the cathedral, on the same plot of land that Pizarro designated for the city’s first church in 1535. Though it retains a baroque facade, the building you see today has been built and rebuilt numerous times: in 1551, in 1622 and after the earthquakes of 1687 and 1746. The last major restoration was completed in 1940.
