[Lima Plaza Mayor | The heart of Peru, woven with history and light✨]

[Plaza Mayor, Lima | The heart of Peru, woven with history and light✨] — Built by Francisco Pizarro in 1535, this is the origin of Lima and a historical square that still beats like a heart. — 📍[Location/Overview] A square square in the center of Lima's Old Town, surrounded by Junín and Carabaya streets. It is surrounded by stately buildings such as the Presidential Palace (Casa de Pizarro), the Archbishop's Palace, the Cathedral of Lima, and the City Hall, making it the "heart" of Peru. 🕰[When to visit] Sightseeing during the day is also recommended, but at night the entire building is lit up, creating a mysterious atmosphere. The most beautiful time to visit is from 9pm to 10pm. ⸻ ✨Recommended points • The illuminated colonial architecture is reflected in the fountain, which spreads like a water mirror, making it look like a painting • The weight of the buildings, such as the Church of Santo Domingo and the Archbishop's Palace, floating in the light, stands out against the night sky • The fountain in the center of the square was installed in 1650. At night, the water spray is illuminated with light, creating a fantastic show • There are just the right amount of people, so you can enjoy a quiet walk while feeling the culture as the night breeze blows ⸻ 🎒Tips and advice • It's comfortable to have a jacket at night. The altitude and wind make it surprisingly cool • If you're aiming for night view photos, the best shots will be with the illuminated architecture in the background over the fountain ◎ • It's relatively safe at night, but just to be safe, use a small shoulder bag instead of a large one, and keep your valuables close to you • There are also restaurants and bars around the square, so you can enjoy meals and desserts while watching the night view #Peru #Lima #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
