Today also called the Convent of Santo Domingo, is known to be the most important temple in the Inca Empire, dedicated primarily to Inti, the Sun God. During Cusco’s reign as the Incan capital, this was one of the most valued and richest temples, as it was covered in gold from top to bottom. Today, there you can find a cathedral, which the Spanish colonists built on the site, after demolishing the temple and using its foundations for the cathedral.
