The General Secretary of the Consultative Council attended a mass for the 97th anniversary of La Victoria district
As part of the activities carried out for its 97th anniversary, the district of La Victoria celebrated a Te Deum mass at the Nuestra Señora de las Victorias Church, in the historical Plaza Manco Cápac.
Some of the guests included the Mayor, Elías Bautista; municipal authorities from different districts, and Dr. Carlos Castagnola, General Secretary of the Chamber of mines of Perú Advisory Council and advisor to the Committee on Culture and Cultural Heritage of the Congress of the Republic.
The district of La Victoria was created on February 2, 1920, through a Supreme Resolution. Its first appointed Mayor was Mr. Juan Carbone, and it finally stablished on August 16 of the following year, through Law 462 promulgated by the President of the Republic, Mr. Augusto B. Leguía.
Since its creation on February 2, 1920, the neighborhood has always remained festive and true to its traditions. It has evolved geographically and socially, sowing in the hearts of its population feelings of identity and love for this historical land. This multicultural district grew politically throughout its golden years, but it is in the year 2007, during the administration of its Mayor, Alberto Sánchez Aizcorbe, the district experienced a great urban and cultural change. Now, in its second municipal period, the transformation will come to an end so that in the following years can meet a renewed La Victoria proudly walking towards the centenary.
La Victoria counts with a variety of tourist places to be visited by Peruvians and foreigners. Thus, proving that it is a district that celebrates its 96th anniversary.
For example, the cultural heritage of the Huaca Santa Catalina and Balconcillo. Or the church of Nuestra Señora de Las Victorias, which every year reaffirms our faith during the celebrarion of the Señor de los Milagros.
Currently, we have the ideal place for entertainment, dialogue, and meeting. The María Reiche Meeting Room, where various cultural events take place every month.
When it comes to commerce, there is no better place than the commercial emporium of Gamarra. A commercial space where one can find the best of Peruvian textiles at comfortable prices, and the latest trends in clothing.
The cuisine of La Victoria is diverse. There are restaurants and “huariques” offering the best of the Peruvian gastronomy.
We invite you to visit this district in the week of its anniversary. Where the warmth of its people and the beauty of its old streets make it the ideal place to revalue our identity.
