Introduction
This view shows the extensive Dominican complex built on the foundations of Korikancha, a sacred Inka building. The smooth ashlar walls of the Inka building were only fully revealed by the 1950 earthquake. The colonial complex, a church and two enclosed patios surrounded by galleries, extends to the south east.
