The Cathedral of Lima at the Historic Plaza de Armas
The highlight of our three hour Mirabus city tour of the Peruvian capital was no doubt our visit to the Cathedral of Lima. Just like the many Catholic churches I have seen in Spain, it was just as dramatic, awesome, and jaw dropping.
We stayed a good hour here. I really liked everything in it. What artistic interiors!

These were exact copies of the bones of Francisco Pizarro on display opposite his tomb
Of all the altars we saw inside the cathedral, this was the most impressive to me. My mouth literally opened wide as we were led to see it up close.
This was the main altar of the cathedral
