Cusco
Heart of the Inka Universe
Cusco was a holy city. It was the capital of the Inka Empire, home of the Shapa Inka (the Inka ruler), and the principal seat of religion. For the Inka, it was the chawpi (center) of the empire and the universe. From Cusco's main plaza, the roads of the Qhapaq Ñan stretched out to the four regions of Tawantinsuyu. |
