At a corner of "Plaza de Armas" and sided by the "Parroquia del Sagrario", stands the "Palacio Arzobispal", the official residence of the Archbishops of Lima. It was inaugurated in 1924 and was projected by the Polish-Peruvian architect Ricardo de Jaxa Malachowski, the same architect of the neighboring "Palacio de Gobierno". The neo-colonial building is ornamented with beautiful cedar balconies, a monumental baroque façade, many different entrances and, above the main gate, the coat of arms of Lima's Archdiocese is displayed. Inside, a magnificent staircase and important paintings related to Lima and Cusco's art schools. Guided visits are possible. Enjoy!

While visiting Lima and its magnificent "Centro Histórico", locally known as "Cercado de Lima", these intricate cedar wood structures - the "Balcones" - will certainly catch your eyes and attention. There are more than 1,600 balconies leaning over the narrow streets and squares of the "Centro Histórico", bringing harmony and originality to this part of Lima, an Unesco appointed, since 1988, "World Heritage Site"! Local authorities are making strong efforts to preserve the beautiful cedar wood balconies, witnesses of the old Spanish colonial times. Enjoy!

At Lima's "Plaza de Armas" (also known as "Plaza Mayor"), the very heart of its historical center, you will find many outstanding buildings. "Palacio de la Unión" is one of them! Built in 1942, in the Spanish-Peruvian neocolonial style, it has awesome wood balconies facing the green lawns and manicured gardens of the square. It belongs to a private social club - "Club de la Unión" - and is not opened to visitors, unless invited by one of its associates. Take your time and stroll along "Palacio de la Unión" and the other famous buildings at "Plaza de Armas", such as the "Palacio de Gobierno", "Palacio Municipal de Lima", "Palacio Arzobispal", "Parroquia del Sagrario" and the unforgettable "Catedral de Lima", all part of the "Centro Historico de Lima", a Unesco appointed, since 1988, "World Heritage Site"!
