📜 Historic square in Cusco, Peru. 🔍 Built on the remains of the Inca's most important gathering spot, Huacaypata. Originally known as Huacaypata, 'place of crying' in Quechua, it served as a central gathering spot for the Inca, hosting meditation ceremonies. After the Spanish conquest, native temples were replaced by churches and mansions, yet it remained a vital hub for social, political, and religious life. It's historically significant as the site of rebel leader Jose Gabriel Tupac Amaru's execution in 1781. The square is flanked by important religious buildings, including the Church La Compañía de Jesús and the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin. The Cathedral is notable for its depiction of The Last Supper featuring Jesus and his disciples dining on guinea pig. # Why Go 🏛️ Reflect on Inca Empire history and glory 📍 Important hub of social, political, and religious life ⛪ See Church La Compañía de Jesús and Cathedral Basilica 🖼️ View unique Last Supper depiction with guinea pig
