What is the Qorikancha? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello, bloggers, today we will talk about Qorikancha The Temple of the Sun, also written as Coricancha or Koricancha, was the most important and sacred temple in the entire Inca Empire. Its name in Quechua literally means “Recinto de Oro”, and it was not an exaggeration: its walls were covered with sheets of pure gold that shone brightly under the Andean sun. Located in the heart of ancient Cusco, the Qorikancha was not only a temple, but the religious, astronomical and cultural center of all the Tawantinsuyo (the name that the Incas gave to their empire). Today, its remains coexist with the Convent of Santo Domingo, built by the Spaniards on top of this sacred Inca enclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
