    When the Spaniards came to conquer the Incas they took one of their most important temples, the Qoricancha, and attempted to destroy it. They destroyed most of it but left some part of the foundation. On top of this foundation the Spaniards built their church, The Iglesia Santa Domingo. This was to prove a sort of dominance over the Inca and to convert them to Christianity.
    The Qoricancha was lined with gold panals on the walls and there were gold figures and altars along with a golden sun disc.
    The Qoricancha was also the main astronomical observatory for the Incas.
