Its historic centre features a mix of colonial and Art Deco architecture, including the stunning Iglesia de Santa Bárbara.

Junín is also home to a number of museums, including the Museo de Arte Religioso, which houses an impressive collection of colonial-era art and artefacts. The city's mining past is still visible in its many antique shops and markets.
