Do you know the most important religious precinct of the Incas? in this new blog we will talk about this very important topic, besides it is also a must-see tourist place that you should know in your visit to Cusco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coricancha was the most important temple of the imperial city of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cusco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cusco <\/a>and the empire. In this place they worshiped their gods, made sacrifices, offered offerings and performed spiritual cleansings; its name comes from the Quechua word &#8220;Coricancha&#8221; which means temple or enclosure of gold, because according to the chroniclers mentioned that this place was full of gold, so much so that this area of the city shone like the sun and stood out for its beauty in its

id=\"Enclosure_in_the_Inca_Empire\"><\/span><strong>Enclosure in the Inca Empire<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the beginning this place was already venerated by the first ethnic groups of the valley of Cusco, among them we have the Sahuasiras, Marcavalle, Antasayas, Huallas, among others; the name that probably had this religious enclosure in its beginnings was Waricancha, and vestiges of its existence we can find in the base of between the three walls of the exterior, in which it is differentiated by its rustic wall and very little worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the arrival of the Incas to the valley of Cusco, the first ruler of the Incas called Manco Capac, took this place to live with his family, and named this enclosure called Inticancha, and it was from that moment that the future Inca rulers lived in this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later after being considered ruler to the Inca Pachacuteq, it was he who changed all the rules and rebuilt this enclosure to be the most important temple of the city of Cusco, changing its name to Coricancha, and thus became part of the Inca religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex
