Cathedral of Lima, Cathedral and museum in Plaza Mayor, Peru.
The Lima Cathedral features a Renaissance facade with decorative elements and two neoclassical towers standing at the east side of Plaza Mayor.
Francisco Pizarro established the initial church in 1535, which underwent multiple reconstructions due to earthquakes until its completion in 1778.
The cathedral contains fourteen chapels along its walls, housing religious sculptures, colonial paintings, and the tomb of conquistador Francisco Pizarro.
Visitors can access the religious art museum inside the cathedral for an admission fee of 10 soles, which includes guided tours.
The cathedral incorporates five architectural styles: Renaissance, Gothic, Neoclassical, Baroque, and Plateresque, resulting from centuries of reconstruction.
