Cathedral of Lima

Why go

A cathedral visit adds an interior to the civic panorama of Plaza Mayor. Look first at the facade and its entrances, then examine the religious works in the museum. The building has been reconstructed and altered since construction began in the sixteenth century, making its layers more interesting than a single date.

What to look for

• The cathedral facade faces Plaza Mayor beside the Archbishop’s Palace.
• The museum holds religious works of art.
• Multiple entrances and chapels reflect the building’s long evolution.

Useful to know

• Check the cathedral museum’s official timetable before setting out.
• Pair the interior with a walk around Plaza Mayor to see its civic context.
