Main point for all series of events and happenings. Throughout its history it has undergone modifications; At the time of the Reduction of Indians, it was a breeding ground for horses and mules, later from 1878 on it had a water basin in its central part, but the most outstanding intervention occurred in 1949 when the total renovation of the Plaza was carried out. Main with gardens, sardines and ornamental posts and the construction of a pergola in its central part inspired by the shape of a clock; since it has twelve columns that represent each of the hours and the shape of the upper structure resembles the minute and second hand.

The logic behind the construction of the pergola is due to the fact that in the 1950s the Peruvian Navy placed a landmark in the Plaza de Armas which is the place where an imaginary line of the Greenwicht meridians that marks the time passes in the world.
