"The Lovely Bones A city tour of Lima isn’t complete without visiting the catacombs of the Monastery of San Francisco . The basement of the working monastery reveals the bones of wealthy Limeños who believed they would be the last to rest in their expensive plots. The tour reveals what actually happened to their remains. Since the catacombs couldn’t expand and affluent Catholics, unfortunately, kept dying, bodies were stacked to decompose down to the bones, and now the larger bones (femurs, forearms, and skulls) are arranged artistically in a circular pattern to make them more aesthetically pleasing to visitors. The site is interesting from both a historical and modern sociological, ethical, and religious standpoint."

A must stop when in Lima. It is 30 Sol for foreigners. Beautiful architecture, chapels, catacombs and Fransisco Pizarro's resting place - the founder of Lima. There are some great stories of him told through the mosaics and interpretive signs. Lots of places to explore including the library and catacombs.

The Cathedral of Lima is a beautiful and historic place to visit, located right in the heart of the Plaza Mayor. We had the chance to explore it with a local tour guide, which made the experience even more meaningful. We learned so much about Peruvian history, colonial architecture, and the cultural significance of the cathedral itself. The interior is stunning — with ornate altars, religious art, and impressive woodwork. It’s a peaceful and educational stop that’s worth including in any Lima itinerary. Highly recommend taking a guided tour to fully appreciate everything the site has to offer!

The Cathedral of Lima is located at the Historic Centre of Lima. It was built in the year 1535, has been damaged by earthquakes, and rebuilt several times over the centuries, the last one was in 1940. It's one of the most important places to visit in Lima. Every part of the Cathedral is very beautiful. It has a museum which displays paintings, sculptures and ornaments. It also has the tomb of Francisco Pizarro, the founder of Lima.

Roman Catholic Cathedral in the center of Dima, an ancient temple that has a golden altar. We were there during Sunday service. Entrance is free, we were asked to take off our hats. There were many believers. The temple is unique, it is located on the square and is one of the main buildings in the central part of Lima. It is easy to find - go to the fenced part and any of the roads will get you to it. Entrance to the service is free

Lima Cathedral, a monumental masterpiece of colonial architecture, stands as a testament to Peru's rich cultural and religious heritage. Its grand façade, adorned with intricate carvings and statues, captivates visitors. Inside, the majestic interior houses magnificent altars, religious artworks, and the tomb of Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro. Guided tours illuminate its history, offering insights into its significance in Lima's development. As a symbol of faith and history, Lima Cathedral is a must-see for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the city's past and marvel at its architectural splendor.

An absolutely stunning cathedral on San Martin Square in the Centro of Lima. Holy week is special in Perú and processions are magical. The ones at the cathedral are not to be missed this time of year
