Guards in front of the Palace

Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro. When Lima was declared a Viceroyalty of the Spanish crown, Francisco Pizarro built himself a palace to reign and display his authority. Thus, following the classic Spanish architecture, the Government Palace, also known as "Casa de Pizarro" (House of Pizarro) is located right at the center of the city. Nowadays, the Government Palace is the official residence of Peru's president.

This tour takes you to the main square where you will be able to observe the Change of Guards in front of the Government Palace (subject to Government Palace program).
