11:34 | Lima, Jan. 21.

Pope Francis on Sunday morning received a warm welcome by the thousands of Catholics waiting for him as he arrived at Lima's Main Square.

Afterwards, the Supreme Pontiff visited the city's Cathedral and the Archbishop's Palace as part of his itinerary on his last day in the Inca country. 


Pope Francis arrived aboard the Popemobile after 09:50 AM (local time) following a meeting with cloistered nuns at Las Nazarenas Church in downtown Lima. 


After going around Lima's Main Square, the Bishop of Rome got off the papal vehicle and entered Lima Cathedral for a prayer before the relics of Peruvian saints.
