Pizarro wanted the city name “City of Kings” since he conquered the city on a Christian holiday. But the name never stuck. Pizarro was murdered in 1541, now Lima was controlled by the Spaniards. The economy went all down hill, followed by a devastating earthquake in 1746. All mishap happened, with Lima getting invaded during the War of the Pacific. That’s when Lima became the capital of Peru. Lima was full of poverty, assassinations, bombings, and major violence. "history of lima peru - Google Search." Google. N.p., n.d.
