Major Plaza of Lima-The Spanish foundation of Lima marks one of the important successes in the history of Peru. Originally this area had small stores and businesses. It was also used for both bull fights and for the execution of prisoners during the Spanish Inquisition. Later in the colonial period a central pillar of bronze was used for announcements as it is even today. In 1821 the independence of Peru was announced here. Along the sides the Plaza are the Governmental Palace, the Catholic Cathedral, Archbishop's Palace, and the buildings of the Municipality of Lima. Church and convent of San Francisco: This beautiful example of colonial architecture was constructed in the 17th century from blue tiles. It has many halls, an amphitheater, patios, and a spectacular library. It is an important site of religious art , and the Hall of Zuraran. The basilica is constructed over a network of subterranean galleries and catacombs, which served as a cemetery during the colonial period and can now be viewed by the public.

Here we can appreciate the various treasures of Peru including a select exposition of gold and ceramic objects. We also find textiles of diverse pre-Columbian cultures including those of the Incas.
