"Lima Cathedral: Hundreds of years of wind and rain, but still survived after several earthquakes" Spain for 300 years of colonial rule in South America and the ancient city of Lima is an important testimony of Spain's colonial rule against Peru. The old town retains too many historical sites, disembarking, heading straight to Lima Cathedral, and experiencing several earthquake-defying churches. Cathedral of Lima, located on the northeast side of Plaza de Armas, is a Roman Catholic church originally built in 1555 and completed in 1649. It was damaged by the 1746 earthquake and has been repaired several times. Reconstruction, but still maintains the colonial architecture and appearance, because architecture and repair have experienced many years, and also has a diversified character in architectural style. The existing buildings are a mixture of Baroque, Gothic and Romanesque architectures, which caused considerable controversy and was quite different from the original Baroque architectural style designed by the Spanish Renaissance architect Francisco Besera. The entire church is white in appearance, and the two towers that are tall and tall are his hallmarks. The main entrance of the church is engraved with many biblical figures, such as the disciples of Jesus, in a Renaissance style. The entire church was built with gray mud, and as soon as you enter the church you can see the long chandelier falling from the top. There is a beautiful chapel and silver altar in the church, and the small auditorium has the shackles of the Spanish colonial leader Pizarro who moved here in 1891. The exquisite dome of the church, the unique checkerboard floor and the carved choir sit on the table. Inside the cathedral there are many churches on both sides of the Church of Jesus Maria and the Church of El Tenov and the Jesuit Church. Impressive is the statue on the church platform. Once you enter the church, you can see this dazzling presence, making it more solemn and sacred, with a melodious organ sound~ Address: Jiron Carabaya Lima 15001 . Transport: In the old town of Peru, it is recommended to take a taxi. Tickets: 10 Sol for adults, 2 Sol for children Opening hours: 9 to Monday to Friday
