Saqsayhuaman - Inca Fortress





The Inca fortress/temple - Saqsayhuaman - located above Cusco - and the location for the Inti Raymi Festival. Some of the rocks used to build the fortress are huge - weighing up to 350 tons. The stones are perfectly aligned and fit together. There is a huge open plaza inside used for religious ceremony.

The fortress overlooks the city of Cusco.
