The Imperial city of the Incas was developed as a complex urban centre with distinct religious and administrative functions which were perfectly defined, distributed and organized. The religious and government buildings were accompanied by the exclusive abodes for royal families, forming an unprecedented symbolic urban compound, which shows a stone construction technology with exceptional aesthetic and structural properties, such as the Temple of the Sun or Qoricancha, the Aqllahuasi, the Sunturcancha, the Kusicancha and a series of very finely finished buildings that shape the Inca compound as an indivisible unity of Inca urbanism. The noble city was clearly isolated from the clearly delineated areas for agricultural, artisan and industrial production as well as from the surrounding neighbourhoods. The pre-Hispanic patterns and buildings that shaped the Imperial city of the Incas are visible today. whc.unesco.org/en/list/273

Cusco Cathedral is towering over the Plaza de Armas, this colonial church is the architectural focal point of Cusco.The historic town of Cusco, Peru is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. Once the imperial city of the Inca, Cusco’s pre-Columbian urban layout was preserved when the Spanish conquistadors began building colonial structures over its framework in the 16th century. The result is a fascinating city of layered architectural styles, archaeological ruins, and varied artistic and cultural influences, set within a winding labyrinth of cobblestoned lanes.

Plaza de Armas is the center of the city, surrounded by several impressive structures, including the Cathedral of Cusco and the Church of the Society of Jesus in this picture.

This is an enhancement of a Kodachrome slide originally taken in July 1969 with the Konica S2 35mm camera my parents gave me for my 21st birthday 3 years earlier. The slide was recently transferred to digital format. It was very faded and had mildew spots on it. I was able to use Photoshop to restore its color and remove most of the spots
Plaza de Armas : Ha sido el escenario de muchos acontecimientos importantes, incluyendo ejecuciones que marcaron el destino del Perú. Fue aquí donde murieron, ejecutados públicamente, entre otros: Túpac Amaru I, el último de los incas rebeldes de Vilcabamba, en 1572; el conquistador rival de Francisco Pizarro, Diego de Almagro, en 1538, al igual que su hijo, Diego de Almagro "El Mozo", en 1542; y Túpac amaru II, precursor de la independencia, en 1781. ( Tomado de la Guía Inca del Cusco).
The first cathedral in Cusco was built in 1539 in the "Suntur Wasi", and was known at the time as the church of victory. Later between the years 1560 and 1664 a new cathedral was constructed on the site of "Kiswar Kancha", the palace of Inca Wiraqocha. It was designed in the shape of a Latin cross.
