Plaza Mayor

See the heart of Lima – The Plaza Mayor or Plaza de Armas de Lima. In this historic site there is a fountain surrounded by beautiful colonial buildings such as the Lima Municipal Palace, The Presidential Palace (Casa do Pizarro) and the Basilica Cathedral. Take the chance to see the “Changing of the Guard” in front of the Presidential Palace on Plaza Mayor. A great place to photograph, so arrive early to get a good place for the ceremony – the military dislikes taking pictures through the gate and you can be retired on the spot.
