500 PE - Historic Centre of Lima (1988)

Brief Description

"Although severely damaged by earthquakes, this 'City of the Kings' was, until the middle of the 18th century, the capital and most important city of the Spanish dominions in South America. Many of its buildings, such as the Convent of San Francisco (the largest of its type in this part of the world), are the result of collaboration between local craftspeople and others from the Old World."

利马的历史中心

"虽然该市先后经历了多次地震的严重破坏，直到18世纪中叶，这个“帝王之城”一直是西班牙在南美洲占领区的首都和重要城市。这里的许多建筑，如南美洲最大的建筑圣弗兰西斯科女修道院，都是当地的能工巧匠和来自旧大陆的建筑师共同建造的。"
