The construction of Dos de Mayo’s Square, at the end of the 19th century, was the beginning of a new idea of a city in Peru. The viceregal idea of the city was forgotten, the walls were demolished and the modernization of the city of Lima was proposed.

For this there is unpublished information provided by the architect Víctor Pimentel and the support of the military authorities t...
