Inca foundation in Cusco

The foundation of this city is just great. It didn't move even with big earthquake which destroyed most of new buildings on this foundation.

The Church and Convent of Santo Domingo

The church was build over the Inca's temple of sun, Korinkancha, which was covered with gold once. The temple is made with stones accurately, so even a razor doesn't go through between stone and stone.
