Step into the heart of Lima's history at the magnificent Basilica Cathedral, right on the Plaza de Armas. As the oldest and largest church in Peru, its sheer scale is designed to impress, rivaling the grand cathedrals of Europe. Inside, you'll discover incredible baroque architecture, a stunning gold-plated altar, and even the tomb of Francisco Pizarro, the city's founder. For a unique perspective, climb up to the organist's loft for fantastic photos or explore the intriguing crypts below. An admission fee of 30 soles applies for tourists.
