Rimac District

Rimac is a historic district of Lima lying across the Rimac River from the colonial core, connected by an old stone bridge dating to the early seventeenth century. It preserves colonial churches, a bullring that is among the oldest in the Americas and a tree-lined promenade laid out as a viceregal pleasure walk. Overlooked by a hill topped with a cross, the quarter retains balconied houses and narrow streets. Visitors cross the stone bridge from the main square.
