In Sacsayhuaman we will discover huge Inca walls with secrets of iconography that only a good eye could catch. Then we return to the city to visit The Temple of the Sun Qorikancha, which is an ancient Incan temple considered one of the most important religious sites in the Incan Empire, and was dedicated to the worship of the sun god, Inti. Qorikancha means "Golden Courtyard" in the Quechua language, and the temple was renowned for its exquisite architecture and lavish decoration. The walls were once covered in gold plates and the courtyard was filled with golden statues. The temple was also a center of astronomical observation and study, and the Incans built a sophisticated system of channels and canals to regulate the flow of water through the temple and control the temperature and humidity. After the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, the temple was partially destroyed and a Spanish colonial church was built on top of it. Today, visitors can see the remains of the Incan temple and the Spanish colonial church that was built on top of it, which is now known as the Church of Santo Domingo.
