Plaza Mayor
The Plaza Mayor (Mayor square), also known as Plaza de Armas of Cusco, is the main public space in the city since its foundation, by the Spanish, in 1534.
Located in the centre of the city, the square stands out its buildings, of colonial architecture, which reflect the passage of the Spanish conquerors in the city.
This was the point chosen to begin creating the Imperial City, which became the capital of the Inca Empire.
Cathedral
The Cathedral of Cusco is one of the most beautiful and significant places in America. It was built between 1560 and 1664 on Quishuarqancha, an ancient Inca palace, with stone blocks brought from Saksayhuman.
It combines a mixture of stules: Gothic, Baroque and Renacentist. On the façade are the best expressions of colonial golsmithing, recreating the great Spanish cathedrals along with Gothic style. In the altarpiece and the monumental towers you can appreciate the Baroque style.
It was considered Cultural Heritage of the Nation.
