Archiepiscopal Palace of Lima, a photo from Lima, South

Photographer's Note

O Palácio Arquiepiscopal de Lima, capital do Peru, é a residência do Arcebispo de Lima e sede administrativa da Diocese de Lima. Está localizado na Plaza Mayor, no Centro Histórico de Lima, que é Patrimônio Mundial por declaração da UNESCO.
Foi construído no local que Pizarro estabeleceu para residência do cura da cidade, mas o edifício é obra moderna, tendo sido iniciado em 1922, com projeto de 1916 de Ricardo de Jaxa Malachowski, num estilo neocolonial que se tornou uma voga no Peru até os anos 40. Claudio Sahut, segundo colocado no concurso que escolheu o projeto, também colaborou com sugestões, especialmente para a fachada.
O desenho se inspirou no Palácio de Torre Tagle, adaptando porém o pátio como um vestíbulo com escadaria monumental, mas mantendo outras características no estilo mudéjar. Na fachada se destacam os grandes frontispícios sobre a porta central e as laterais, que continuam desde o primeiro pavimento até o topo do prédio, e as sacadas fechadas em madeira do segundo piso, típicas das construções hispano-mouriscas.

The Archiepiscopal Palace of Lima, capital of Peru, is the residence of the Archbishop of Lima and administrative seat of the Diocese of Lima. It is located in Plaza Mayor, in the Historic Center of Lima, which is World Heritage by UNESCO declaration.
It was built in the place that Pizarro established for the residence of the priest of the city, but the building is a modern work, having been started in 1922, with a 1916 project by Ricardo de Jaxa Malachowski, in a neocolonial style that became a vogue in Peru until the years 40. Claudio Sahut, second in the contest that chose the project, also collaborated with suggestions, especially for the façade.
The design was inspired by the Torre de Tagle Palace, however, adapting the patio as a vestibule with a monumental staircase, but maintaining other features in the Mudejar style. On the façade are the large frontispieces on the central door and the sides, which continue from the first floor to the top of the building, and the wooden shutters of the second floor, typical of the Hispanic-Moorish constructions.

Hello Ricardo

I like the warm colors of the bg yellow buildings and orange red tinged clouds, contrasting with the cooler hues of the blue sky. The curving fg steps add perspective. Tfs!

Bonjour, cher ami Ricardo,
Alors là, je reste confondu devant tant de beauté. Le style architectural de l'édifice est exubérant à travers ses ornements et la munificence d'ensemble. La mise en image avec ce ciel d'une beauté qui mélange subtilement le bleu et l'arrivée d'un ciel menaçant est parfaite.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Ricardo,
Very impressive classic architecture on this world heritage city center. Wide angle lens is right too for capturing life here. The sky is like from a painting.

Hi Ricardo
A fine shot of town centre when the lighting and colours work best here and the architectural beauty is indeed a great draw and gem that speaks itself. It's nicely aligned for equal prominence, and the people is a vital point enlivens the whole shot. The low light exposure level is well handled seamlessly, Simply graceful to look! Congrats
Best regards

Olá, Ricardo!

Linda vista da arquitetura imponente de Lima, com essas curiosas varandinhas de madeira que me lembro muito bem! Vejo também que conseguiu pegar um tempo aberto, o que é muito raro por lá! As cores estão impressionantes! Belo trabalho!
