Lima, the Capital of Peru was founded
on 18th January 1535, by Spanish
Conquistador Francisco Pizarro, and
quickly became known as the City of
the Kings. Within 70 years it was the
most important city in the SpanishAmerican Empire, and was the focal
point for European trade and cultural
activity in the region. It is a city of rare
fascination and unexpected pleasures.
Lima has decaying colonial splendor
and the teeming vitality of an oriental
bazaar; melancholy cloudy winters and
warm breezy summers; impoverished
urban sprawl and quiet elegant corners
among ancient buildings where the
night air is scented with jasmine.
