Abstract

The Master Plan of the Historic Center of Lima (CHL) includes the recovery of its public spaces. In this context, various historical archeology projects are being carried out in some of its most important squares.

The main objective was to identify the different processes of renovation of these spaces, with the premise that they functioned as an integrating axis of the urban fabric of downtown Lima as dynamic social spaces since their founding times. The squares studied from their palimpsests allow us to rethink their historical memory. From a multidisciplinary perspective, the future of the current San Francisco square was studied, from its origins at the dawn of the seventeenth century, to its current configuration as one of the most prominent and important public spaces of the CHL. The results of the historical archeology project “Plazuelas de Lima” (2019-2020) are presented.
