Cathedral of Lima, Roman Catholic cathedral in Plaza Mayor, Lima, Peru
The cathedral exhibits Renaissance, Gothic, Neoclassical, Baroque, and Plateresque architectural styles across its sixteen decorated chapels and central nave.
Built between 1602 and 1797 on the site of an Inca shrine, the cathedral underwent multiple reconstructions following earthquakes, including major repairs after 1746.
The Museum of Religious Art inside the cathedral displays a collection of paintings depicting Peru's leaders from Inca times through Spanish colonial rule.
Visitors can purchase combination tickets to explore both the cathedral and the adjacent Archbishop's Palace, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The cathedral houses Francisco Pizarro's tomb in a dedicated chapel, discovered in 1977 and placed near the entrance in a decorated chamber.
