Archbishop's Palace of Lima, Religious palace at Plaza Mayor, Lima, Peru
The Archbishop's Palace features neo-colonial architecture with stone construction, cedar wood balconies, and a neoplateresque entrance facing the main square.
Francisco Pizarro designated this land for Lima's head priest in 1535, with the current structure completed in 1924 by architect Ricardo de Jaxa Malachowski.
The palace displays a granite sculpture of Saint Turibius of Mongrovejo and houses administrative offices of the Lima Archdiocese alongside the Archbishop's residence.
Two flagpoles mark the palace entrance, with Peru's national flag on one side and the Vatican flag on the other, indicating its current function.
The interior features marble staircases with wooden railings leading to French stained glass windows that illuminate a sculpture of Santa Barbara.
