Cusco Cathedral
Location:
Plaza de Armas
Cusco, Peru
Historical Building
Located in the center of Cusco on the Plaza de Armas, Cusco's massive stone cathedral is well worth a visit. Begun in 1560, much of the stone used to build the cathedral was brought from Sachsayhuamán and other Inca sites. Time and earthquakes had taken their toll on the cathedral until an ambitious resotration project was realized between 1997 and 2002. Much of the stonework has been shored up and the magnificent paintings have been delicately wiped clean of centuries of grime. Be sure to check out the Matia Angola bell in the bell tower, made with more than fifty pounds of gold.
Travel Tips: The entrance is no longer included as part of the Cusco Tourist Ticket. You now have to buy a ticket separately for 25 soles.
