Plazoleta de San Blas

The stone paved square features traditional adobe buildings, art galleries, and local craft shops surrounding a central stone fountain.

The square stands on the former Inca neighborhood of T'oqokachi, which contained tombs of Inca rulers and a sanctuary dedicated to Illapa deity.

Local artisans display their paintings and crafts in the square while the San Blas Church exhibits a wooden pulpit carved from a single tree.

The square connects to Tandapata and Carmen Bajo streets through stone steps, offering access to numerous restaurants, hotels, and craft workshops.

The northeastern wall features a paqcha, a water fountain that commemorates the natural springs that existed in this area during pre-Hispanic times.
