District Lima

Lima (known in Spanish as Cercado de Lima) is a district of the Lima Province in Peru. It is not where the inner city zone of Lima, the country's capital city, is located, San Isidro District being such area in Lima.

This district is the oldest in Lima and as such, vestiges of the city's colonial era remain today in the Historic centre of Lima, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Sitein 1988.

Downtown Lima

As I walk around the narrow streets of the historic center of Lima, I discover and enjoy its appealing and special architecture. Magnificent convents such as the San Francisco, and beautiful old colonial houses such as Osambela are just a sample of why downtown Lima was declared part of the list of World Heritage Centers by Unesco.
