Jesús María, Residential district in metropolitan Lima, Peru
The district spans across central Lima with clear boundaries marked by Pueblo Libre, Breña, downtown Lima, Lince, San Isidro, and Magdalena del Mar districts.
In December 1963, President Fernando Belaúnde Terry established Jesús María as an independent district, separating it from the central Lima administration.
The Natural History Museum of Peru stands within the district, presenting collections that document the natural diversity of the country through scientific exhibits.
The district contains multiple government ministries, including aeronautics, navy, public health, and labor, alongside major medical facilities and educational institutions.
The San Felipe housing development replaced a former municipal racetrack, introducing a combination of high-rise apartments and townhouses that defines the urban landscape.
