Stone wall made by Inca - the twelve points of this large stone represent the twelve Inca rulers. Every stone in this wall fits perfectly. 
Today, large elaborate cathedrals stand where Inca temples once stood. The city has a charm of its own - a mixture of the old Inca stone work and the Spanish 
architecture. While we were there, the people were celebrating the Festival of the Sun. There was dancing and music in the streets.

The cobbled paths and roads are worn smooth from years of use.

Every town in South America has a church in the the Square. They are very beautiful and elaborate - most are hundreds of years old.
We used Cusco as our base to visit the surrounding Inca sites.
