Last weekend I was really able to relax and start to see more of Lima. First, I went with some co-workers to La Plaza de Armas, which is also called La Plaza Mayor:
On one side of the plaza is La Catedral de Lima next to the Archbishop's house. This cathedral is built on land designated for the city's first church by the conquistador Francisco Pizarro and now houses his remains.
On another side sits El Palacio del Gobierno, the house of the President of Lima. I'll have to come back here during the day sometime to see the changing of the guard ceremony.
The plaza is flanked on the other sides by various governmental buildings. I love the enclosed balconies!
