Lonely Planet review for Plaza de Armas
Also called Plaza Mayor, the 140-sq-meter Plaza de Armas was once the heart of Lima. Though not one original building remains, the impressive bronze fountain in the center is its oldest feature, erected in 1650, and its oldest building is the cathedral, which was reconstructed after the 1746 earthquake.

Good plase to start exploring Lima
bachonysus recommends this,
This is the main Plaza in Lima and a good place to look around. There are many things to see, places to eat, shop and just have a good time looking at the architecture of the buildings and the balconies. Or if you are into people watching just find a place to sit and maybe have an ice cream from one of the street vendors. On the northwest side of the plaza there is a shop lined walking road which leads to the Plaza San Martin. Take your time and have fun enjoying all the Plaza de Armas has to offer.
