Culture in Lima

Lima, Peru's capital on the Pacific coast, reveals its cultural depth through a striking range of places. The Cathedral of Lima and the Monastery of San Francisco anchor the colonial city centre, while the Larco Herrera Museum safeguards pre-Columbian heritage including the deity Dios Pachacámac and the Goddess Feme. Historic objects such as the BAP Abtao, a Blériot XI, a Beechcraft Queen Air A-80, and a Bell 212 Twin Huey trace threads of technological history. The German Tower, the Anillos Olímpicos, and the bustling Emporio Comercial de Gamarra round out a city whose culture spans centuries and disciplines.
