Plaza Kusipata, Cultural heritage square in central Cusco, Peru
Plaza Kusipata features a central fountain surrounded by colonial buildings, including the Cabildo Palace and the former Tourist Hotel of Cusco.
The square was part of Huacaypata, the main Inca plaza, until 1555 when Sebastián Garcilaso de la Vega authorized construction projects that divided the space.
The Contemporary Art Museum of Cusco occupies the Cabildo building on the plaza, presenting exhibitions and cultural programs throughout the year.
The western Portal Espinar contains souvenir shops, while the southern section houses restaurants in the former Tourist Hotel building.
The plaza contains the birthplace and childhood residence of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, a notable 16th-century chronicler of Inca history.
