Nearly 500 years ago the Spanish Conqueror Francisco Pizzaro destroyed one of the most highly advanced civilizations that has ever existed. Arriving Peru in September of 1532, it took him only two short months to capture and later killing the leader of the Inca Empire, Atahuallpa. Having control of the Incas, Pizarro set out and looted the empire of all its gold. With the riches he built the city of Lima in 1535 which became the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Still to this day you can see the Colonial Lima that was built during the Conquistadores all but friendly arrival into this coastal region.
Though most of the gold was melted down and shipped off to her majesty in Spain there are still some precious artifacts that were undiscovered and can be viewed in Lima's Gold Museum. If any thanks can be given to the greedy Spanish invaders, it would be toward that they found little or no interest in the pottery work of the Incas. Fortunately, thousands of ceramic pieces were untouched and had no value to the looting invaders of the new found land.
Today you can see more than 45,000 of these magnificently crafted pieces of art at the Larco Herrera Museum. We highly recommend that you take a few hours to visit either or both of these museums to get a better understanding of the craftsmanship of Peru's forgotten Pre-Columbian Civilizations. If your taste for archaeology has not quite yet been sufficed there is the Pachacamac site which dates back over 1000 years and is a short distance from Lima.
