Lima’s cultural landscape spans from pre-Columbian artifacts to contemporary photography. This collection includes colonial landmarks like the Monastery of San Francisco with its underground catacombs and the 16th-century Aliaga House. Art-focused sites range from the Museo Mario Testino in Barranco to the archaeological exhibits at the National Museum of Peru (MUNA) and the Pachacámac sanctuary. Visitors can explore religious art within the Archbishop’s Palace and the Cathedral, or discover modern Peruvian literature at the former Desamparados train station.
