The Cathedral of Lima

Posted 1 year ago by trakker in response to avatar alice's question: What should I know before visiting the Cathedral of Lima? (give a different answer) .

The Cathedral of Lima was almost destroyed in the earthquake of 1746 and now is a reconstruction on the lines of the original, work completed in 1755. It is remarkable by the splendidly carved stalls, silver-covered altars sorrounded by fine woodwork or mosaic-covered walls bearing the coats of arms of Lima and Pizzaro. Inside there is set the Museo de Arte Religioso with free guided tours.
