Qorikancha (Convento de Santo Domingo), Cuzco
Qorikancha was the most important temple in the Inca empire. Its name means golden courtyard and its walls were once covered with gold. The Spanish, who described it as the richest temple in the whole of the New World, dismantled the upper part of the temple and built a grand colonial church on its base. Today there is a museum inside highlighting what remains of the Inca temple, which was originally built in the fifteenth century. It is very interesting.Opening hours: Mon-Sat 8am-5pm, Sun 2-5pmAdmission: S/.10
