Lima - Peru
The city de Lima, founded by Francisco
Pizarro on January 18, 1535, was considered the vice-royal capital de
South America for three centuries. After Pizarro’s decision to make Lima
the capital de his government, different Hispanic authorities
established their residence in the city. Its official name was Ciudad de
los Reyes (City de Kings), although after a while, people preferred to
call it Lima. For some researchers, the name Lima is a transformation de
the name de the river on which it was founded, Rimac. Others instead
suggest that the name was the old word for the lands de Taulichusco, the
lord who ruled the valley when the Spanish arrived.
In 1821, Lima became the capital de independent Peru. During the first
decades de Republican life, it was the scene de political fights among
different leaders. The advent de the twentieth century implied a
renovation since the city modernized and grew in the attempt de trying
to keep up with other great capitals de the world. In 2002, the
Department de Lima was divided into the Departament de Lima and
Metropolitan Lima, the capital de the country.
