Piura

Piura is the capital city of Peru's northwestern Piura region. It's known for its colonial buildings, such as the Piura Cathedral with its ornate gilded altarpiece. The cathedral faces Plaza de Armas, a trim square dotted with tamarind trees. The Admiral Miguel Grau Museum and House contains the 19th-century war hero's photos and mementos. San Francisco Church is where Piura declared independence from Spain in 1821.
