Cathedral Basilica of Lima, or simply Lima Cathedral, is situated in the Plaza Mayor in downtown Lima. Originally constructed in 1535, this Roman Catholic cathedral has undergone several renovations throughout the years. It has retained much of its Spanish Colonial style, but also picked up touches of neoclassical, gothic, and baroque styles throughout the years. It is one of the most iconic buildings in the city and home to the greatest museum of religious art, featuring a wealth of sculptures, paintings, vestments, and other religious artifacts. Additionally, the cathedral has 14 side chapels, one of which houses the tomb of Francisco Pizarro – a Spanish conquistador, a basement crypt, and a small exhibit of 18th and 19th-century giant hymn books.
