Casa de las Sierpes, Colonial building in Cusco, Peru.
Casa de las Sierpes displays intricate stonework and architectural elements that combine Spanish colonial design with indigenous Inca construction techniques.
The structure dates back to the Spanish colonial period when European settlers constructed buildings using stones from dismantled Inca structures in Cusco.
The serpent motifs carved into the stone walls reflect traditional Inca symbolism and artistic expression that persisted through colonial times.
Visitors can access the building during daylight hours and combine their visit with nearby archaeological sites in central Cusco.
The building features original Inca stone blocks at its base, perfectly fitted without mortar, supporting colonial-era upper walls and balconies.
