Transport yourself back in time by the ruins of what once served as the most important religious centre for indigenous people on the Peruvian coast.

Built in 1110 in the highest point in the city, Sé do Porto, or Porto Cathedral, is a defining landmark of the city, and the most important religious building in Porto.

Freedom is inlaid with every brick of its architectural facade, while history wafts in every room and corridor.

Myriads of historical figures have tread through Independence Hall, including Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, and others.
