The Temple of the Sun is one of the most impressive relics of the Inca culture and was built in honor of the sun god Inti. It was the spiritual and religious center of the Inca Empire. Today, the Qoricancha stands as a symbolic example of the fusion of Inca building culture and Spanish colonial architecture. The Qoricancha housed not only the Temple of the Sun, but also other sacred shrines for other deities. (Temple of the Moon Goddess, the Temple of Lightning, the Temple of the Rainbow, the Temple of Water, and others. All temples were clad in gold and adorned with precious stones. The Spaniards plundered the treasures and partially destroyed the temple to build a monastery on it. The monastery was repeatedly damaged by several earthquakes, but the walls of the Inca temple have remained undamaged, which speaks to the exceptional architecture. Even today, 15 monks still live here.

Really nice town, especially on market days (in the town square > Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday). The only thing that takes away a little of its beauty is that it is beginning to suffer gentrification due to the arrival of foreigners.
