Description
Qoricancha, the Inca Temple of the Sun, was one of the most sacred and respected buildings of the Inca Empire. People from all over the Empire gathered at this temple to worship and pay tribute to their gods, but the interior of the enclosure was reserved for the most important personalities of the time. Due to its importance, the Qoricancha was built with finely joined stones with an impressive precision that give it a sober aesthetic. On the inside, the walls of the various enclosures were covered with leafs of gold and silver. In the time of the Incas, within the facilities of the “gold enclosure” you could find many deities and samples of flora and fauna such as vicuñas, birds, trees and plants such as corn, made of gold and silver. In 1530, along with the Spanish conquest, the order of the Dominicans built the temple of Santo Domingo on the foundations of the Qoricancha,this showing the power of the Spanish over the Incas. Later, the temple was looted almost completely, stripped of the precious metals that decorated it. Let’s explore this archaeological site live with Jimmy!
