In 1564 <a href="/wiki/Archbishop_of_Lima" class="mw-redirect" title="Archbishop of Lima">Archbishop</a> <a href="/wiki/Jer%C3%B3nimo_de_Loayza" title="Jerónimo de Loayza">Jerónimo de Loayza</a> decided on a sumptuous building to rival the most famous cathedrals in <a href="/wiki/Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a> (such as <a href="/wiki/Seville_Cathedral" title="Seville Cathedral">Seville Cathedral</a> then, and now the largest in Spain), thus beginning a change in dimensions. The work began with the demolition of the primitive adobe walls, but the new construction would not be completed. </p><p>Master builder Alonso Gonzales Beltrán was given the task, in 1564, of designing a large church with three naves and side chapels. But his project, inspired by the Seville Cathedral, turned out to be too grandiose and costly. </p><p>When Viceroy <a href="/wiki/Mart%C3%ADn_Enr%C3%ADquez_de_Almanza" title="Martín Enríquez de Almanza">Martín Enríquez de Almanza</a> arrived, in 1581, being Archbishop of Lima <a href="/wiki/Turibius_of_Mogrovejo" title="Turibius of Mogrovejo">Toribio de Mogrovejo</a>, arranged for a new cathedral to be built and in 1585 the <a href="/wiki/Trujillo,_C%C3%A1ceres" title="Trujillo, Cáceres">Trujilloan</a> architect <a href="/wiki/Francisco_Becerra" title="Francisco Becerra">Francisco Becerra</a>, who had made plans for several buildings in <a href="/wiki/Mexico" title="Mexico">Mexico</a> and <a href="/wiki/Quito" title="Quito">Quito</a>, was called from <a href="/wiki/Cusco" title="Cusco">Cusco</a>, where, at the time, he was working, and was in charge of the construction of the third cathedral. Becerra made a new plan (considered to be the plan on which the existing cathedral is based) that took, in part, the cathedrals of <a href="/wiki/Ja%C3%A9n_Cathedral" title="Jaén Cathedral">Jaén</a> and <a href="/wiki/Seville_Cathedral" title="Seville Cathedral">Seville</a> as models. The first had three naves, like the one in Lima, the second had five, but there are doors in the arms of the <a href="/wiki/Crossing_(architecture)" title="Crossing (architecture)">crossing</a>, three doors in the main façade and a side courtyard called, as in the Cathedral of Lima, the <i>Patio de los Naranjos</i>, which is reached through the side door that is to the left.

Discussions were held on the best means of defense against seismic movements: the Chief Architect, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Juan_Mart%C3%ADnez_de_Arrona&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Juan Martínez de Arrona (page does not exist)">Juan Martínez de Arrona</a>, supported the idea of brick vaults, but several members of the Cabildo or Municipal Council considered that it would be better to cover the cathedral with wood. Tired of the need to find a solution to the problem, they appointed Bartolomé Lorenzo as Advisor to Arrona. Finally, in October 1625, the naves of the main part of the third cathedral were consecrated.<sup id="cite_ref-Bermúdez_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bermúdez-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The main entrance (designed by Arrona) was completed in 1632, and the towers in 1649.

Baroque, Gothic and Neoclassical elements have been mixed in this way. A substantial change was the transfer of the choir to the presbytery as well as the removal of most of the Baroque altars and ornaments that it originally had for the early-19th century Renaissance ones. These transformations began in 1804, in accordance with the neoclassical currents prevailing at the time. In 1891, the supposed remains of the founder of Lima (<a href="/wiki/Francisco_Pizarro" title="Francisco Pizarro">Francisco Pizarro</a>) were moved to the cathedral and placed in the Chapel of la adoración de los Reyes, the third on the left hand side, where they rested until the mausoleum was built in which, currently, The authentic remains found in 1977 are preserved. </p><p>On 28 May 1921, recognition was conferred as a <a href="/wiki/Minor_Basilica" class="mw-redirect" title="Minor Basilica">minor Basilica</a> under the name of Catedral Basílica San Juan Apóstol y Evangelista. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/1940_Lima_earthquake" title="1940 Lima earthquake">earthquake of 1940</a> caused damage to the cathedral and for this reason a restoration work was undertaken whose direction was entrusted to Emilio Harth Terré. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Alleged_treasure">Alleged treasure</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan_Cathedral_of_Lima&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Alleged treasure"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Treasure_of_Lima" title="Treasure of Lima">Treasure of Lima</a></div> <p>A well known <a href="/wiki/Urban_legend" title="Urban legend">urban legend</a> is that in 1820 a vast amount treasure the so-called <a href="/wiki/Treasure_of_Lima" title="Treasure of Lima">Treasure of Lima</a> was hidden in the cathedral by the citizens of Lima and that to save it from <a href="/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_de_San_Mart%C3%ADn" title="José de San Martín">José de San Martín</a> revolutionary armies it was placed on a British vessel which was supposed to anchor in the Harbor; instead the ships Captain killed the guards and fled to <a href="/wiki/Cocos_Island" title="Cocos Island">Cocos Island</a> where he buried the treasure and that years later treasure hunters still tried to find legendary lost treasure of Lima.

On one of the walls you can see the coat of arms of Lima. In the <a href="/wiki/Sarcophagus" title="Sarcophagus">sarcophagus</a> it is seen that the head is separated from the body, possibly detached by multiple manipulations to which its remains were exposed. The original body was discovered in the early 20th century. In front of the sarcophagus, there is a small chest containing earth from his hometown, <a href="/wiki/Trujillo,_C%C3%A1ceres" title="Trujillo, Cáceres">Trujillo</a>. </p><p>Formerly, when entering the Cathedral of Lima, it was always thought that Pizarro's body was the one that was presented in a glass urn located in an altar of the Cathedral itself. Precisely the tourist guides indicated the right side, near the entrance, the altar was made of marble, and there was a mummified skeleton, of a saffron color. In 1891, on the occasion of the 350th anniversary of his death, it was decided to publicly display his remains in this place, and since then it has been a must for everyone who visits Lima. </p><p>In 1977 the cathedral is subjected to a restoration inside, and that is when some workers of the crypt of the cathedral, accidentally came across a lead box with some blurred inscriptions, they could not imagine that It was about the true remains of the Spanish founder of Lima. Behind a wall was a niche where they found the box. The inscription read: <i>Here is the head of the Lord Marquis Don Francisco Pizarro, who discovered and won the kingdoms of Peru and placed in the Royal Crown of Castile.</i> Next to it was found a coffin lined on the inside with velvet, containing a large number of bones. A team of scientists managed to determine that those remains belonged to a woman, two children, a mature man who was later found to be Pizarro. In addition, these scientists worked long months to determine the origin of these remains. Archaeologists, anthropologists, pathologists, radiologists, chemists, and historians joined forces to obtain data and details related to Pizarro's hectic political and military life. </p><p>In this chapel was originally the altarpiece of the Cristo del Auxilio, now in the Chapel of Santa Ana. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Sacristy_and_Chapter_House">Sacristy and Chapter House</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan_Cathedral_of_Lima&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Sacristy and Chapter House"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Returning to the <a href="/wiki/Sacristy" title="Sacristy">Sacristy</a> and already entering it, we find ourselves in the <i>ante-sacristy</i>, also called the <i>room of <a href="/wiki/Zodiac" title="Zodiac">zodiac</a></i>, since on its walls there are 12 paintings painted in the Bassano workshop, alluding to the 12 zodiacal signs.
