Huchuy Qosqo
Monumental ConstructionDescription
Huchuy Qosqo is a monumental construction in Peru, South America.
Huchuy Qosqo occupies a high position above the Sacred Valley and preserves terraces, halls and other Inca structures. Its buildings combine stone and adobe, illustrating architectural choices that differ from the exclusively stone-built image often associated with the Inca. The complex was probably established as a royal estate under the Inca ruler Viracocha around 1420 CE. This is an approximate historical attribution, not a precisely documented construction year.
