Plaza de Armas, or Plaza Mayor, is the historical center of Lima and the most logical starting point for visitors sightseeing in Central Lima. This is the original city center, founded in 1535, although almost all of the original structures were lost in the earthquake of 1746. The only original structure remaining in Lima's Plaza de Armas is the bronze fountain in the center, built in 1651. This main square was reconstructed following the quake and is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
