The+Archbishop's+Palace

Originally built in the 16th century, the archbishop’s palace of Lima was renovated in 1924 and in 2009 it was opened to the public. The palace is one of the most beautiful buildings to visit because it incorporates gorgeous pieces of bronze, mahogany, and cedar wood, while also featuring an iconic marble staircase. The overwhelming grandeur found inside is alluded to with ornate carvings of stone stretching from above the main entrance to the roof itself. Flanking this door are two magnificent wooden balconies that hang gracefully suspended above the street. They themselves are also intricately carved in a variety of patterns and styles. The entirety of the palace’s exterior fits a theme reminiscent of Spanish colonial architecture, adding great depth to the culture and history of the area. Located in the Plaza de Armas, the archbishop’s palace is situated perfectly for tourists looking to see as much of the city as they can.
