Cusco

Cusco

Cusco is a city in Peru located in the southeast of the Valley of Huatanay or Sacred Valley of the Incas, in the Andes region, with a population of 300,000. It is the capital of the department of Cusco and the province of Cusco. Cusco is a very high city. Its name means "navel" in the Quechua language. It was the most important administrative and cultural center of the Tahuantinsuyu, or Inca Empire. Legends attribute the foundation of Cusco to the Inca Manco Capac in the eleventh or twelfth century. The granite walls of the Inca palace are still there, as well as monuments like the Korikancha, or Temple of the Sun. After the end of the empire in 1532, the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro invaded and plundered the city. Most of the Inca buildings were devastated by Catholic clerics with the dual purpose of destroying the Inca civilization and building with their stones and bricks the new Christian churches and other administrative buildings of the rulers, thereby imposing their pretended European superiority. Most of the buildings built after the conquest are of Spanish influence with a mixture of Inca architecture, including the church of Santa Clara and San Blas. Cusco é uma cidade no Peru situada no sudeste do Vale de Huatanay ou Vale Sagrado dos Incas, na região dos Andes, com população de 300.000 habitantes. É a capital do departamento de Cusco e da província de Cusco. Cusco é uma cidade muito alta. Seu nome significa "umbigo", no idioma quíchua. Era o mais importante centro administrativo e cultural do Tahuantinsuyu, ou Império Inca. Lendas atribuem a fundação de Cusco ao Inca Manco Capac no século XI ou XII. As paredes de granito do palácio inca ainda estão lá, bem como monumentos como o Korikancha, ou Templo do Sol. Depois do fim do império, em 1532, o conquistador espanhol Francisco Pizarro, invadiu e saqueou a cidade. A maioria dos edifícios incas foi arrasada pelos clérigos católicos com o duplo objetivo de destruir a civilização inca e construir com suas pedras e tijolos as novas igrejas cristãs e demais edifícios administrativos dos dominadores, desta forma impondo sua pretensa superioridade européia. A maioria dos edifícios construídos depois da conquista é de influência espanhola com uma mistura de arquitetura inca, inclusive a igreja de Santa Clara e San Blas.
