1. Larcomar
Larcomar is built on an excavation at the top of the Lima cliff and most of its spaces are above the void, which gives it a floating character. The construction was carried out in the Malecón de la Reserva sector that was previously occupied by the Alfredo Salazar park, which was modified giving way to an artificial park with a larger area, which is actually the coverage of the vehicle parking basements and multiplex cinemas. The underground ventilation system was resolved with large exhaust “chimneys” that appear in the park as large bluish glass sculptures. Larcomar has an important tourist position, receiving on average around 56,000 foreign tourists per month due to its location in the Miraflores district and its proximity to hotels.

2. Magnificent Pre-Inka Ceremonial Center located in the Miraflores district.

3. Lima Main Square
The Main Square of Lima, also known as Plaza de Armas de Lima, is the foundational site of the city of Lima, the capital of Peru. It is the main public space in the city and is located in the historic center of Lima. Surrounding the square are the sober structures of the Government Palace of Peru, the Lima Cathedral, the Church of the Sagrario, the Archbishop’s Palace of Lima, the Municipal Palace of Lima, and the Club de la Unión. The Municipality and the Cathedral facing each other bear witness to the Hispanic urban layout. The Plaza de Armas is intersected by Jirón Junín, Jirón de la Unión, Jirón Huallaga, and Jirón Carabaya.

4. Jirón de la Unión 300
The Municipal Palace of Lima is a public building that serves as the main headquarters of the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima. It is located on Portal de Escribanos Street, block 3 of Jirón de la Unión, facing the Main Square in the historic center of Lima.

5. Lima Cathedral
The Cathedral of Lima was built on the site where the Inca shrine of the Puma Inti and the palace of the Cusco prince Sinchi Puma, a direct descendant of the Inca Sinchi Roca, were located. When Francisco Pizarro founded Lima, he allocated a plot for the church, ensuring that Sinchi Puma renounced his assets through a notarized certificate to prevent the occupation of the chosen site for the church from being considered a usurpation of ownership. In 1535, Pizarro laid the foundation stone and publicly carried the first beam for the construction of the church (the first cathedral), which was dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. The construction was completed in 1538, and it was inaugurated on March 11, 1540, with the consecration of the Holy Eucharist for the first time on that day.

6. Government Palace of Peru
The Government Palace of Peru, also known as the Casa de Gobierno (the official designation used in official documents) or Casa de Pizarro, is the main seat of the Peruvian executive power and the official residence of the President of Peru. It comprises a built area of 19,208 m². It is located in the Plaza Mayor of the historic center of Lima, on the left bank of the Rímac River. Different buildings fulfilling the same function have existed on the same site for nearly five centuries, since it was occupied in 1535 by the governor Francisco Pizarro. Before that, it may have been the residence of the curaca Taulichusco, a delegate of the Inca government in the Rímac Valley. During the Viceroyalty period, it was known as the Palace of the Viceroy or Viceroyal Palace and served as the residence for the 40 viceroys of Peru. Subsequently, it housed liberators José de San Martín and Simón Bolívar, as well as the majority of presidents during the republican era.
