Qorikancha (Temple of the Sun)

Cusco · Peru

Just a short walk from the plaza, this was once the most important Inca temple in the empire and the Spanish built a Dominican convent directly on top of it, so you can see both layers at once. Kids are usually fascinated by the perfectly fitted Inca stonework and the story of how the original walls were covered in gold sheets.
