Notes: The invocation of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Peace originated in the Spanish city of Toledo, towards the end of the 11th century and spread throughout the Americas; it is closely linked to San Ildefonso, who was one of the most important bishops of the Church in Spain in the seventh century after she appeared to him; in the colonial period, in the Viceroyalty of Peru, of which the city of Nuestra Señora de La Paz was then located, in 1584 King Philip II of Spain sent an effigy of the Nuestra Señora de La Paz to the city; when the cathedral was finished the effigy was placed on the altar and worshipped as the patroness of the diocese. The Catedral Basílica de Nuestra Señora de La Paz was originally completed in 1692 after seventy years of construction but was demolished in 1831 due to cracks in the foundation; the present basilica was built in 1835 with interior work only concluding in 1932.
