At the official residence of the Archbishops of Lima!

Oct 2019

At a corner of "Plaza de Armas" and sided by the "Parroquia del Sagrario", stands the "Palacio Arzobispal", the official residence of the Archbishops of Lima. It was inaugurated in 1924 and was projected by the Polish-Peruvian architect Ricardo de Jaxa Malachowski, the same architect of the neighboring "Palacio de Gobierno". The neo-colonial building is ornamented with beautiful cedar balconies, a monumental baroque façade, many different entrances and, above the main gate, the coat of arms of Lima's Archdiocese is displayed. Inside, a magnificent staircase and important paintings related to Lima and Cusco's art schools. Guided visits are possible. Enjoy!

Impressive

Apr 2018 • Couples

The building itself is very impressive from the outside with it's architectural design and those cool balconies. The inside is equally interesting and full of paintings and historical church artifacts. Check out the fancy staircase!

Impressive museum

Jul 2017 • Solo

Buy the combined ticket for the Cathedral next door at only S30 and visit both spots. The museum isn't as interesting as the cathedral, but it's a good way to see how the church officials lived in rich splendour compared with the local population. Lots of interesting antiques, religious art and decor.

Next to the Cathedral

Jun 2019 • Family

We went into the Cathedral where we were encouraged to buy a combo ticket for both the cathedral and the archbishop’s palace next door. It was our first day so we had a lot of energy. The grand staircase is what grabs your attention when you enter. Seeing us with our cell phones, the guard kindly offered to take our group pictures on the staircase. There are 2 floors of rooms to see. Our visit was probably less than 30 minutes.

Not very interesting

Jul 2013 • Couples

We bought the combination ticket to the Archbishop's Palace and the Cathedral next door, which seemed very expensive to me. In retrospect, I would have skipped the Palace and just gone directly to the Cathedral. After seeing the furniture, marble and chandeliers, we left feeling that the church should have spent the money on the poor, rather than allowing the clerics to live so lavishly in the midst of them.

Upstairs downstairs

Mar 2018 • Couples

Firstly you do not save any money by buying the combined ticket to include the cathedral. The cathedral ticket cots 10 sol and is well worth it as lots to see, if you follow guide leaflet. The palace, well it's 20 sol. Downstairs is a selection of religious paintings all very much the same and Nothing in English. Upstairs a selection of rooms with some furniture in but again nothing to explain in English. Ok if you have time to kill but otherwise pass and go straight to the cathedral or monasteries.

Beautiful palace that doesn't need a lot of time

May 2019 • Couples

The Archbishop's Palace is beautiful, but it's not huge, so you don't need a lot of time to see it. It's centrally located on the Plaza de Armas, next to the Lima Cathedral and diagonally across from the Presidential Palace. You can purchase a combined ticket for the Archbishop's Palace and the Cathedral, which is cheaper than buying both separately. The Palace's staircase and skylight were my favorite, but there is also a small chapel upstairs and some very nice rooms. On the ground floor there are some nice religious displays, including a few madonna's in beautiful embroidered gowns. Well worth a visit.

Come to see the Architecture and Design

Sept 2018 • Family

While they have a pretty sizeable art display here--the art all being exactly what you would expect in a Religious house--we came just to see what a colonial house/mansion would look like. From this perspective it was an interesting visit as the house is very well restored and maintained. All the rooms have furnishings various periods and the building interior is quite striking. AS we had little interest in the art, it only was about a 30 minute visit for us--which was plenty of time. If you get the joint ticket--just come by after seeing the Cathedral.

Buy the Combo Ticket for Palace & Cathedral

Jun 2018 • Couples

Definitely worth visiting! Probably my favorite building in the square. Get the combo ticket to see the Cathedral with Pizarro's tomb and then come here. It's just very pretty and worth standing inside to see each room for yourself.
