Palace of Justice

Inspired from the architecture of the Palace de Justice in Brussels and designed by the architect Bruno Paprocki, it was built on the site where a prison once stood. The Great Hall is surrounded by columns and decorated with monumental bronze lamps. The bust of the first president of the Supreme Court, Don Manuel Lorenzo de Vidaurre, rises from the centre. The work was finished in 1947 and is currently the seat of Peru's Judicial Power, leaving it inaccessible to all except those participating in judicial processes.
