Lima Sights

  1. La Catedral

    This cathedral has had a potted history. Originally constructed in 1555, it was considered too small and had to be rebuilt. It suffered earthquake damage in 1687 and again in 1746, but today this majestic colonial church is sitting pretty, with interesting woodcarvings and original mosaics. There is a small museum and guided tours are available.
