Lima’s centro formed after the 1535 Spanish foundation; many churches and plazas rebuilt after earthquakes preserve colonial and republican layers, while the San Francisco convent houses catacombs used for burials in the 17th–18th centuries.
Conservation
Historic center conservation focuses on stabilizing masonry after frequent seismic damage; visitors should avoid touching fragile surfaces, use marked paths and minimize litter to protect these sites.
