Plaza De Armas
The rest of the square is for fun or relaxation. |
There are food stands, restaurants and this odd fractured sculpture that may represent more recent and tumultous history of this nation. |
Then there is the Cathedral, officially a National Monument since 1951. The orginal cathedral was built in this location in 1541, but destroyed by an earthquake, as was the next one. This one, the fifth one raised in this location, was started in 1745, with the two towers added in 1800. |
A sure way to get some donations, drawing a religious subject near a cathedral - and reasonably well |
