Lima Cathedral dazzles with baroque grandeur, gold accents, and a fascinating crypt, making it a stunning highlight of the city’s rich heritage.
"The Lovely Bones A city tour of Lima isn’t complete without visiting the catacombs of the Monastery of San Francisco . The basement of the working monastery reveals the bones of wealthy Limeños who believed they would be the last to rest in their expensive plots. The tour reveals what actually happened to their remains. Since the catacombs couldn’t expand and affluent Catholics, unfortunately, kept dying, bodies were stacked to decompose down to the bones, and now the larger bones (femurs, forearms, and skulls) are arranged artistically in a circular pattern to make them more aesthetically pleasing to visitors. The site is interesting from both a historical and modern sociological, ethical, and religious standpoint."
