A controversial statue of Francisco Pizarro, the Spanish conquistador, has been returned to Lima's central square after over two decades.
The monument's reinstallation coincided with Lima's 490th-anniversary celebrations, sparking both celebration and protest among Peruvians.
Indigenous groups strongly oppose Pizarro's legacy, viewing him as a brutal conqueror who inflicted immense suffering.
Conversely, supporters argue that the statue represents an important, albeit complex, part of Peru's historical narrative.
