Archbishop’s Palace of Lima

Why go

Look up at the palace’s cedar balconies and ornate facade, then compare them with the cathedral next door. Although it fits the historic square, the present building opened in the 1920s. That later date makes it a useful example of Lima’s revival of colonial architectural forms.

What to look for

• Ornate wooden balconies sit above the principal doors.
• The palace stands immediately beside Lima Cathedral.
• Its facade uses historic forms in a twentieth-century building.

Useful to know

• See it while circling Plaza Mayor and visiting the cathedral exterior.
• Confirm any interior access before making it the focus of a visit.
