Calle Plateros, UNESCO Heritage street in central Cusco, Peru.
The 195-meter stone-paved street runs from Calle Siete Cuartones to Plaza de Armas, featuring colonial buildings and local businesses along its length.
Built over the channeled Saphy River in the 1920s, this street reflects the urban transformation of Cusco from Inca planning to Spanish colonial development.
The name Plateros refers to silversmiths who established their workshops here during colonial times, creating a legacy of metalwork craftsmanship.
Located at the heart of Cusco's historical center, the street provides direct access to Plaza de Armas and connects to major shopping areas.
The street stands above an underground channel of the ancient Saphy River, which once marked the boundary of Inca royal palaces.
