Manco Capac and his companion, with the help of the four women, made a house. Having done this, Manco Capac and his companion, with the four women, planted some land with maize. It is said that they took the maize from the cave, which this lord Manco Capac named Pacaritambo , which means those of origin because The Spanish conquistadors adopted the local name, transliterating it into Spanish phonetics as Cuzco or, less often, Cozco. Cuzco was the standard spelling on official documents and chronicles in colonial times, [5] though Cusco was also used. Cuzco , pronounced as in 16th-century Spanish, seems to have been a close approximation to the Cusco Quechua pronunciation of the name at the time. As both Spanish and Quechua pronunciation have evolved since then, the Spanish pronunciation of 'z' is no longer universally close to the Quechua pronunciation. In , the city mayor signed an ordinance banning the traditional spelling and ordering the use of a new one, Cusco , in municipality publications. Nineteen years later, on 23 June , the local authorities formalized a new spelling related more closely to Quechua: Qosqo. There is no international, official spelling of the city's name. In English-language publications both "s" [7] [8] and "z" [9] [10] can be found. The Killke people occupied the region from to CE, prior to the arrival of the Inca in the 13th century. Carbon dating of Saksaywaman , the walled complex outside Cusco, established that Killke constructed the fortress about CE. The Inca later expanded and occupied the complex in the 13th century. In March , archaeologists discovered the ruins of an ancient temple, roadway and aqueduct system at Saksaywaman. Together with the results of excavations in , when another temple was found at the edge of the fortress, this indicates a longtime religious as well as military use of the facility. Cusco was long an important center of indigenous people. It was the capital of the Inca Empire 13th century — Many believe that the city was planned as an effigy in the shape of a puma , a sacred animal. Under the Inca, the city had two sectors: the urin and hanan. A road led from each quarter to the corresponding quarter of the empire. Each local leader was required to build a house in the city and live part of the year in Cusco, restricted to the quarter that corresponded to the quarter in which he held territory. After the rule of Pachacuti , when an Inca died, his title went to one son and his property was given to a corporation controlled by his other relatives split inheritance. Each title holder had to build a new house and add new lands to the empire, in order to own land for his family to keep after his death. According to Inca legend, the city was rebuilt by Sapa Inca Pachacuti , the man who transformed the Kingdom of Cuzco from a sleepy city-state into the vast empire of Tawantinsuyu. The city was constructed according to a definite plan in which two rivers were channeled around the city. Archaeologists have suggested that this city plan was replicated at other sites. It was captured by the generals of Atahualpa in April in the Battle of Quipaipan. Nineteen months later, Spanish explorers invaded the city after kidnapping and murdering Atahualpa see Battle of Cuzco , and gained control because of their arms and horses, employing superior military technology. On 15 November Francisco Pizarro officially arrived in Cusco. The fortress had three parapets and was composed of "heavy masses of rock". The most sumptuous edifice in Cuzco The palaces were numerous and the troops lost no time in plundering them of their contents, as well as despoiling the religious edifices," including the royal mummies in the Coricancha. Pizarro ceremoniously gave Manco Inca the Incan fringe as the new Peruvian leader. Pizarro left a garrison of 90 men and departed for Jauja with Manco Inca. Pizarro renamed it as the "very noble and great city of Cuzco". Buildings often constructed after the Spanish invasion have a mixture of Spanish influence and Inca indigenous architecture, including the Santa Clara and San Blas neighborhoods. The Spanish destroyed many Inca buildings, temples and palaces. They used the remaining walls as bases for the construction of a new city, and this stone masonry is still visible. Father Vincente de Valverde became the Bishop of Cusco and built his cathedral facing the plaza. He supported construction of the Dominican Order monastery Santo Domingo Convent on the ruins of the Corichanca , House of the Sun, and a convent at the former site of the House of the Virgins of the Sun. Although the siege lasted 10 months, it was ultimately unsuccessful. Manco's forces were able to reclaim the city for only a few days. He eventually retreated to Vilcabamba , the capital of the newly established small Neo-Inca State. There he survived another 36 years but he was never able to return to Cuzco. Throughout the conflict and years of the Spanish colonization of the Americas , many Incas died of smallpox epidemics, as they had no acquired immunity to a disease by then endemic among Europeans. Cusco was built on layers of cultures. The Tawantinsuyu former Inca Empire was built on Killke structures. The Spanish replaced indigenous temples with Catholic churches, and Inca palaces with mansions for the invaders. Cusco was the center for the Spanish colonization and spread of Christianity in the Andean world. It became very prosperous thanks to agriculture, cattle raising and mining, as well as its trade with Spain. The Spanish colonists constructed many churches and convents , as well as a cathedral , university and archdiocese. A major earthquake on 21 May caused damage in more than one third of the city's structures. The Dominican Priory and Church of Santo Domingo, which were built on top of the impressive Qurikancha Temple of the Sun , were among the affected colonial era buildings. Inca architecture withstood the earthquake. Many of the old Inca walls were at first thought to have been lost after the earthquake, but the granite retaining walls of the Qurikancha were exposed, as well as those of other ancient structures throughout the city. Restoration work at the Santo Domingo complex exposed the Inca masonry formerly obscured by the superstructure without compromising the integrity of the colonial heritage. Since the s, tourism has increased. Currently, Cusco is the most important tourist destination in Peru. Cusco extends throughout the Huatanay or Watanay river valley. To its north is the Vilcabamba mountain range with 4,—6,metre-high 13,—20,foot mountains. The highest peak is Salcantay 6, metres or 20, feet about 60 kilometres 37 miles northwest of Cusco. It is generally dry and temperate, with two defined seasons. Winter occurs between April to September, with abundant sunshine and occasional nighttime freezes; July is the coldest month with an average of 9. Summer occurs between October and March, with warm temperatures and abundant rainfall; November is the warmest month which averages Although frost and hail are common, the last reported snowfall was in June Temperatures usually range from 0. Sunshine hours peak in July; the equivalent of January in the Northern Hemisphere. In contrast, February, the equivalent of August in the Northern Hemisphere, has the least amount of sunshine. Cusco was found in to be the spot on Earth with the highest average ultraviolet light level. Tourism has been the backbone to the economy starting in the early s, bringing in more than 1. The Killke built a major temple near Saksaywaman, as well as an aqueduct Pukyus and roadway connecting prehistoric structures. Saksaywaman was expanded by the Inca. The Spanish explorer Pizarro sacked much of the Inca city in Inca buildings and foundations in some cases proved to be stronger during earthquakes than foundations built in present-day Peru. Among the most noteworthy Spanish colonial buildings of the city is the Cathedral of Santo Domingo. The major nearby Inca sites are Pachacuti's presumed winter home, Machu Picchu , which can be reached on foot by the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu or by train; and the "fortress" at Ollantaytambo. The surrounding area, located in the Watanay Valley, is strong in gold mining and agriculture, including corn , barley , quinoa , tea and coffee. The stadium is home to one of the country's most successful soccer clubs, Cienciano. Because of its antiquity and importance, the city center retains many buildings, plazas, streets and churches from colonial times, and even some pre-Columbian structures, which led to its declaration as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in Among the main sights of the city are:. This neighborhood houses artisans, workshops and craft shops. It is one of the most picturesque sites in the city. Its streets are steep and narrow with old houses built by the Spanish over important Inca foundations. It has an attractive square and the oldest parish church in Cusco, built in , which has a carved wooden pulpit considered the epitome of Colonial era woodwork in Cusco. This street is the most visited by tourists. On the street Hatun Rumiyoq "the one with the big stone" was the palace of Inca Roca , which was converted to the Archbishop's residence. Along this street that runs from the Plaza de Armas to the Barrio de San Blas , one can see the Stone of Twelve Angles , which is viewed as a marvel of ancient stonework and has become emblematic of the city's history. Its foundation dates from The first complex was destroyed by the earthquake of Its rebuilding was completed in Its cloisters of Baroque Renaissance style, choir stalls, colonial paintings and wood carvings are highlights, now a popular museum. The first cathedral built in Cusco is the Iglesia del Triunfo , built in on the foundations of the Palace of Viracocha Inca. Today, this church is an auxiliary chapel of the cathedral. The main basilica cathedral of the city was built between and The main material used was stone, which was extracted from nearby quarries, although some blocks of red granite were taken from the fortress of Saksaywaman. This great cathedral presents late-Gothic, Baroque and plateresque interiors and has one of the most outstanding examples of colonial goldwork. Its carved wooden altars are also important. The city developed a distinctive style of painting known as the " Cuzco School " and the cathedral houses a major collection of local artists of the time. The cathedral is known for a Cusco School painting of the Last Supper depicting Jesus and the twelve apostles feasting on guinea pig, a traditional Andean delicacy. The cathedral is the seat of the Archdiocese of Cuzco. Known as the "Square of the warrior" in the Inca era, this plaza has been the scene of several important events, such as the proclamation by Francisco Pizarro in the conquest of Cuzco. The Spanish built stone arcades around the plaza which endure to this day. This church Church of the Society of Jesus , whose construction was initiated by the Jesuits in on the foundations of the Amarucancha or the palace of the Inca ruler Wayna Qhapaq , is considered one of the best examples of colonial baroque style in the Americas. It was built over an underground chapel and has a valuable collection of colonial paintings of the Cusco School. The Qurikancha "golden place" was the most important sanctuary dedicated to the Sun God Inti at the time of the Inca Empire. According to ancient chronicles written by Garcilaso de la Vega chronicler , Qurikancha was said to have featured a large solid golden disc that was studded with precious stones and represented the Inca Sun God — Inti.
