The Plaza de Armas, also called the Plaza Mayor, is the cradle of Lima, Peru. This is where Francisco Pizarro founded Lima in 1535, making it the oldest square in the city.

  The historic grandeur is reflected in the buildings around the square, such as the Palacio de Gobierno, the Palacio Arzobispal and the Cathedral, including a magnificent bronze fountain dating from 1650.   Much more about this important urban square on Wikipedia.
