Lima is the capital of Peru and its largest city. Founded in 1535 by
the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro, the modern city is a
curious mix of the modern mega city with some 'islands of modernity',
large but orderly slum areas and colonial architecture in the city
center.
Lima later became
the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. The city was destroyed by an
earthquake in 1746 but was rebuilt. It grew rapidly during the 20th
century and now accounts for nearly one-third of Peru's total
population. It is the country's economic and cultural centre.
Lima (pronounced /ˈlaɪmə/) is a city in and the county seat of Allen

Lima was founded in 1831.
The Lima Army Tank Plant, built in 1941, is the world's sole producer
