Lima, the capital of Peru, is a great metropolis which has majestically preserved the evidence of its glorious past despite the passage of time. It is an effervescent city in constant transformation, where the different expressions of the country’s cultural diversity coexist perfectly. Founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro, in colonial times it was considered the City of Kings, and UNESCO recently designated it as a World Heritage Site. Among Lima’s highlights are its beautiful historic center with its buildings that house treasures of colonial art or the Casa Aliaga, a beautiful property that is currently the oldest continuously inhabited private dwelling in the Southern Hemisphere.
