The Church of San Domingo

The Church of San Domingo

San Domingo was built upon an ancient Inca temple called the Qoricancha (Golden Courtyard). It was built by the Inca Pachacutec as a reflection of his future empire which appeared to him in a dream. A curved Inca wall can be seen at the right hand end of the church. Click image for smaller photograph
