Located in Cusco a short distance from the main plaza is one of the most interesting building in the city the Santo Domingo Cathedral or Coricancha the Inca Sun Palace. Originally named Inti Kancha this building was the most important temple in the Inca Empire and the most revered in the capital city of Cusco.
When the Spanish conquered the city the demolished the temple and used its foundation to construct the Santo Domingo Cathedral. Today the site is the best representation of Cusco history reflecting the city's importance both to the Incas and the Spanish in Colonial Days.
