The Qoricancha was the most important temple in all of Tahuantinsuyo, a place dedicated to the worship of the Sun, which was partially destroyed and used to build the convent and the church of Santo Domingo, which is currently one of the busiest museums. It is a place full of energy and mysticism, impossible to lose sight of, since it is located on Avenida el Sol, one of the main roads to reach the Plaza de Cusco.
