LIMA CITY CENTRE

Lima, founded in 1535, has withstood numerous earthquakes, the most devastating happened in 1760, leaving only a few buildings from its early years intact. Subsequently, significant transformations emerged around the decades of 1870, 1920, and 1960, marking periods of prosperity.
Since the 1940s, Limenian families began to move to the districts of San Isidro, Miraflores, and Barranco, areas previously used for secondary homes, farms, and summer residences. For the 1970s, the city center of Lima was predominantly inhabited by immigrants from various parts of the country, who occupied the grand old mansions, housing multiple families and thus reshaping the city’s identity. Since then, there have been minimal changes, with efforts in the past two decades, focusing on the restoration of Lima’s architectural heritage.
