Zona Monumental de Huancayo

The Monumental Zone stretches across 97 hectares in central Huancayo, containing traditional architecture, governmental buildings, and two main public squares.

The Spanish colonizer Jerónimo de Silva established this central area of Huancayo in June 1572, marking the beginning of the city's organized development.

The Cathedral of Huancayo and Plaza Constitución form the religious and social core of this district, where residents gather for celebrations and ceremonies.

The district borders are defined by Huancavelica Avenue to the west, Ayacucho Street to the north, Pachitea Street to the east, and Angaraes Street to the south.

The area received its protected status in 1989, preserving structures like the Chilca Station, La Merced Chapel, and the former Tivoli Hotel.
