The Coricancha
The Coricancha (The Golden Temple) was one of the Incan Empire's most sacred and important temples. Its walls were covered with gold and life-size statues of plants and animals were said to be made of pure gold and silver. Sadly, this wealth was stripped out by the Spanish conquistadors.
Most of the temple was destroyed after the 16th-century war with the Spanish conquistadors. Much of its stonework was used as the foundation for the seventeenth-century Santo Domingo Convent. It was built after the 1650 earthquake destroyed the first Dominican convent.
Koricanca (Zlatni Hram)
Koricanca (Zlatni hram) bio je jedan od najsvetijih i najvažnijih hramova Carstva Inka. Zidovi su bili prekriveni zlatom, a statue biljaka i životinja u prirodnoj veličini su bile napravljene od čistog zlata i srebra. Nažalost, ovo bogatstvo su oduzeli španski konkvistadori.
Većina hrama je uništena nakon rata u 16. veku sa španskim konkvistadorima. Doseljenici su ga takođe rusili da bi izgradili svoje crkve i rezidencije. Veliki deo kamena je korišćen kao temelj za manastir Santo Domingo iz sedamnaestog veka (koji je izgrađen nakon zemljotresa 1650. godine koji je uništio prvi dominikanski manastir).
Incan Fortress of Sacsayhuaman
Sacsayhuamán ('fortress of the royal) is a citadel on the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco, Peru, the historic capital of the Inca Empire. The site is at an altitude of 3,701 metres.
The complex was built by the Incas in the 15th century, particularly under Sapa Inca Pachacuti and his successors. Dry stone walls constructed of huge stones were built on the site, with the workers carefully cutting the boulders to fit them together tightly without mortar.
Archaeological studies of surface collections of pottery at Sacsayhuamán indicate that the earliest occupation of the hilltop dates to about 900 CE.
Kraljevsko utvrdjenje Inka Sacsayhuaman
Sacsayhuaman (kraljevska tvrdjava) je tvrđava na severnoj periferiji grada Kusko, Peru, istorijski glavni grad Carstva Inka. Lokacija je na nadmorskoj visini od 3.701 metara.
Kompleks su izgradili Inke u 15. veku, posebno pod Sapa Inca Pachacuti i njegovi naslednici. Zidovi su izgradjeni od ogromnog kamenja, a radnici su pažljivo rezali stene kako bi ih čvrsto spojili bez maltera.
Arheološke studije površinskih kolekcija keramike u Sasayhuamanu ukazuju na to da najranija okupacija vrha brda datira oko 900. godine.
