We started just aross the
hotel in the Santo Domingo where you will find the remains of the
largest temple in the inka periode, dedicated to the Sun god.
Unfortunately most of the temple were destroyed by the
conquestadores, and all the valuables were melted and sent back
to Spain, so there are not much left of that. But the building
gives a good impression of the skill of the inkas when it comes
to buildings. After the visit we walked to the Plaza de Armas. On
the way we passed the longest remaining wall of the inka temple
in Cuzco. A visit inside the cathedral is essensial. The rooms
are filled with beautiful paintings and carvings. Also the
typical style the local used when they copied famous paintings
are well represented. The Plaza is a very popular meeting spot,
and there are many resturants where you can sit and overlook the
activities of the plaza, day and night.
In 2013 I was back to
visit the interesting city, and here you also find some
supplements to the old folders, but also some new ones from areas
I did not visit on my first visit to the town
