This is the official residence and office of Peru's President. It is on the banks of the Rimac River that is Lima's principal waterway. During the time of the Incas, the site had a strategic and spiritual meaning and the last Inca chief in Lima lived here. Pizarro, the conqueror of the Incas liked the site so much that he kept it for the first Spanish palace construction which began in 1535. After that, the Government Palace has been rebuilt many times. The present mansion was constructed in the 1930s. The Palace lies on the north side of Lima's central square. On the other three sides of the square you will find, the Cathedral of Lima and the adjoining Archbishop's Palace, which were originally built during the 1600s; the Municipal Palace (City Hall); and private office buildings.
Restricted Access, but with a prior appointment you can see the palace in select timings.
