The Cabildo of Lima (Spanish: Cabildo de Lima; Cabildo de la Ciudad de los Reyes) was the governing body of Lima and, since 1874, its intendancy. It was created four days after the creation of the city in 1535, existing until its suppression during the independence of Peru in 1821. It was headed by the Alcalde Ordinario.
