Qorikancha
According to Inca conception, the Qorikancha was the religious, geographical and political center of Cusco. It was the place where homage was paid to the highest of Inca deities, the “Inti” (Sun). Etymologically, the word “Qorikancha” is divided as follows: “Qori” means “worked gold”- its Spanish form is “cori”. “Kancha” means place enclosed or limited by walls- its Spanish form is “cancha”, which suggests that the name approximately corresponds to “fenced place that contains gold”. It is said that when the Spanish reached the Temple of Qorikancha, they had never seen so much gold in one place; the walls of the temple were covered with a layer of gold that illuminated the entire enclosure and in its extensive gardens there were representations of animals and cornfields made of pure gold. Most of the pieces were sent to Spain, as a “thank you” to the king for allowing the expeditions of conquest.
