"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."

A walking tour of Lima's historic district is a must-do. The city boasts a wealth of architectural and historical treasures, a testament to Peru's rich colonial past under Spanish rule. Don't miss the iconic Cathedral and a visit to the historic center

Nice cathedral with interesting exhibits such as old Catholic relics, the tombs of the archbishops and Francisco Pizarro’s remains. 30 soles for foreigners.

a must see church, if you would like to see the remains of the conquistador francisco pizarro. the church is glorious with many chapels. the stairs lead to the crypt down below is wide and the “ space” is very spacious and the height is just easy enough for every one to stand up straight.

Relatively interesting and impressive but would not prioritise if you only have limited time in Lima.

One of the best cathedrals I have visited in the world! Great English speaking guide who explained everything. Conquest, Conversion and Construction.

Nice cathedral off Mayor of Lima Square. A lot of gold gilded statues, complete with a mausoleum. One of the wonders o this church is it is built of wood and bamboos and then covered with mortar, for earthquake proofing.
