The city of Lima, also known as the City of Kings, was founded by Francisco Pizarro on January 18, 1535, on the right bank of the Rímac River due to the excellent strategic and geographic conditions of this valley. Lima, whose name stems from the Quechua word Rimac, which translated into Spanish means talker, began its rapid growth amidst the millenary cultures that developed in the area. During the Viceroy ship, between the sixteenth and seventeenth century, Lima became the most important and powerful metropolis in Lattin America, and the cultural and commercial center of the region, until the creation of the Viceroy ship of La Plata in the 18th century, which took up the famous mines of Potosi. In 1821, following a series of intense political movements, General San Martin proclaimed the independence of Peru. Today, Lima is a modern city that offers a wide range of attractions which, united with its rich past, provides visitors with a harmonious synthesis of all this historic richness in its many museums, traditional quarters, restaurants, handicrafts, galleries, and nightlife.
