Basilica Cathedral of Lima

Construction on Lima’s first cathedral started in the 1530’s but the current structure not completed until the 1750’s due to earthquakes. It was rebuilt in 1940 after another devastating earthquake. It is located in Plaza De Armas (Plaza Mayor), in the Historical Center of Lima. Lima’s historical center was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1988.

The beautiful Basilica Cathedral of Lima sits in the heart of Lima's historical area. It's one of the main structures dominating the Plaza de Armas. Construction began in 1539 and the church took over 100 years to complete. It's open to the public and has a gorgeous, large interior. Anyone visiting Lima should definitely stop by for a visit! #UrbanJungle
