The Cathedral of Lima, situated in the heart of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Site on the palm-tree-lined Plaza Mayor, stands as a testament to both history and resilience. Originally built with adobe during the colonial era, the cathedral has undergone numerous reconstructions and refurbishments due to earthquakes, incorporating baroque and neoclassical elements. Visitors today can explore its grand interior, which reflects the architectural evolution and historical layers that have shaped this iconic landmark over the centuries.
