16 reviews of Cathedral of Lima

Oldest Architectural Work

Standing, of course, in the Plaza de Armas, Francisco Pizarro personally began construction of this cathedral on Monday, January 18, 1535. Originally called the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, it's bordered by fifteen different chapels, one of which now contains the remains of the conqueror himself. It was inaugurated with great pride on March 11, 1540. The Cathedral of Lima is the oldest architectural work still standing in the Peruvian capital of Lima.

The Peru, a country seething culture.

Le Pérou, pays d'une culture bouillonnante.

Cette terre légendaire des incas mais aussi les énigmatiques lignes de Nazca, sans compter tous ces merveilleux paysages d'une diversité incroyable on fait que je m'y suis rendu à deux reprise et prépare un troisième voyage. Ce pays qui a connu de terribles confrontations avec l'arrivée des espagnols a engendré une forte culture métisse. Ces villes coloniales regorges de trésors architecturaux, peintures, sculptures inimitables arts et traditions indiennes se sont imbriqués avec la culture européenne. Pays dont le peuple n'a pas perdu son identité, beaucoup de dialectes demeurent dans ses différentes régions, le pays est extrêmement vivant, plein de ferveur religieuse combinée à la joie de danser, la vie y est tellement humaine !

This country, which had terrible confrontations with the arrival of Spanish has a strong culture mtisse engendr. These regorges colonial cities of architectural treasures, paintings, sculptures inimitable Indian arts and traditions have imbriqus with European culture. Country whose people has not lost its identity, many dialects remain in its different regions, the country is extremely alive, full of religious fervor combines the joy of dancing, life is so human!

Imperdible

Uno de los MUST en la ciudad de Lima. Se caracteriza como todas las catedrales por sus 3 puertas. Solo para aclararlo, no fue debido a que la ciudad se hizo importante que se "amplio" la catedral...para nada. Lo que sucede es que Lima es una zona de temblores y terremotos. En uno de ellos se destruye parte de la catedral, motivo por el cual se reconstruye en parte y por el que se ven estilos distintos. Cabe resaltar que el altar con motivos barrocos se daño en un terremoto y se elaboro otro (el actual) con un estilo mas sobrio. Entre las cosas mas destacadas de la catedral se encuentra el cuerpo del conquistador Francisco Pizarro el cual fue recién hallado a mediados del siglo XX y por casualidad. Sus huesos tienen huellas de espada. También se encuentra un cuadro con los que en teoría fueron los 14 incas según el relato de Garcilaso de la Vega. Hay muchas mas cosas interesantes adentro como por ejemplo las famosas catacumbas. Visitenla y descubran todos los detalles y me cuentan ;)
One of the must in the city of Lima. It is characterized as all cathedrals for its 3-door. Just to clarify, it was because the city was important to "large" cathedral ... for nothing. What happens is that Lima is an area of ​​tremors and earthquakes. In one of them is destroyed part of the cathedral, why is reconstructed in part and by the different styles that look. Significantly motif baroque altar was damaged in an earthquake and developed another (now) with a more sober style. Among the most prominent of the cathedral is the body of the conqueror Francisco Pizarro which was recently found in the mid-twentieth century and by chance. His bones have traces of sword. It is also a table with the theory that the 14 were from the account of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. There are many more interesting things inside such as the catacombs. Visit it and discover all the details and tell me ;)

Cathedral of Lima overlooking the Plaza...

La cathédrale de Lima domine la place ...

La cathédrale de Lima domine la place des armes, où se trouve également le palais présidentiel et d'autres bâtiments historiques aux couleurs joyeuses que démentait ce jour-là la présence policière importante (sans qu'on en connaisse la raison... mais l'Amérique du Sud a toujours plus ou moins des manifestations et des revendications sociales, donc rien d'étonnant !) C'est le quartier central de Lima, et il est possible d'y observer la relève de la garde, ou simplement de se balader sous les arcades qui entourent la place !
Cathedral of Lima overlooking the Plaza de Armas, where there is also the presidential palace and other historical buildings in bright colors that day belied the heavy police presence (with unknown reason ... but South America has always been more or less events and social demands, so no wonder!) This is the central district of Lima, and it is possible to observe the changing of the guard, or simply to walk under the arcades surrounding the square!

Bâtiment remarquable avec son architecture coloniale parfaitement conservée, la cathédrale de Lima, située à l'ouest de la place des armes juste à côté de la sacristie (encore plus belle) ne se visite malheureusement pas endehors des heures de messe, mais c'est surtout sa façade extérieure qui vaut le coup d'oeil.
Remarkable building with its well-preserved colonial architecture, the Cathedral of Lima, located west of the Plaza de Armas next to the sacristy (even better) is unfortunately not within non visiting hours Mass, but it is especially its exterior which is worth a look.

La cathédrale de Lima, sur la place ...

La cathédrale de Lima, sur la place centrale, est un des bâtiments les plus anciens de la ville. Erigée au milieu du 16ème siècle, elle a été détruite par un tremblement de terre et reconstruite en 1746. Je trouve l'intérieur intéressant, puisqu'on peut entre autre admirer le cercueil du conquistador Francisco Pizarro.
Cathedral of Lima, in the central square, is one of the oldest buildings in the city. Built in the mid 16th century, it was destroyed by an earthquake and rebuilt in 1746. I find it interesting inside, since you can see from the coffin of another conquistador Francisco Pizarro.

La Catedral de Lima, en la plaza central, es uno de los edificios más antiguos de la ciudad. Construida a mediados del siglo XVI fue destruida por un terremoto y reconstruida en 1746.
