FRANCISCO PIZARRO

FOUNDER OF LIMA, PERU

AS DEPICTED IN THE

LIMA CATHEDRAL BASILICA OF

An account of this year's celebration of the anniversary, the FIESTA de LIMA (The Lima Fest) can be found here.

LIMA, PERU

IS FOUNDED

January 18, 1535

FRANCISCO PIZARRO

The evidence of his skeleton is displayed

in Lima Cathedral (see above),

to prove that it is Pizarro

whose crypt is in the cathedral.

The 476th anniversary of the founding

is being celebrated today, but

the founder is not without controversy.

The city constructed,

the bones deconstructed (and reconstructed).

The head was severed from the body.

Literally.
