Description
The Archbishop’s Palace of Lima (Palacio Arzobispal de Lima) on the Plaza Mayor in the historic centre is the official residence of the Archbishop of Lima. The building is an outstanding example of neo-colonial architecture in the Baroque style. Inaugurated in December 1924, the building features a richly decorated stone façade with imposing neo-Baroque elements. Particularly striking are the large, dark-brown wooden balconies made of carved cedar in the traditional Liman style with Moorish influences. The palace is situated right next to Lima Cathedral. – 1969
