  Basilica Catedral De Lima

  Fundada por Francisco Pizarro, comenzó como Iglesia Mayor en 1535, hasta que el Papa Pablo III la elevó a Catedral el 14 de mayo de 1541. La Catedral resume la historia de la ciudad de Lima, no solo en el ámbito eclesiástico, sino también político y artístico. La antigua Catedral sufrió varias transformaciones a lo largo del tiempo, debido a los sismos de gran magnitud que se vivieron en la ciudad de Lima y a mejoras estéticas. Los estilos que convergen en ella a través de las obras de arte sacro que alberga son renacentista, manierista, barroco, rococó y neoclásico. Bajo sus bóvedas, se encuentran enterrados los restos de figuras emblemáticas y cofradías.
