Cusco Cathedral, Minor basilica in Plaza de Armas, Peru
The Cathedral of Cusco stands with three naves and fourteen cruciform pillars, featuring a rectangular basilical layout spanning 3,920 square meters in central Cusco.
Construction began in 1560 on the former site of Inca Viracocha's palace, using stone blocks transported from Sacsayhuaman fortress, and reached completion in 1654.
The interior displays numerous artworks from the Cusco School, combining European religious themes with Andean elements in paintings and sculptures throughout its chapels.
Visitors enter through the Iglesia del Triunfo on the right side of the cathedral facade, with access available daily from 10 AM to 5 PM.
The cathedral's bell tower contains Maria Angola, a massive bell whose sound reaches distances of 20 miles across the Cusco valley.
