Sacsayhuaman
The «ceremonial fortress» Sacsayhuamán, which lies above Cusco and was
built with stones up to 9 m high, is the greatest architectural work of
the Incas. The rough blocks of felz, roughly worked in the quarry, were
dragged to the construction site with ropes. There they received their
final form. There are buildings for religious rituals, amphitheaters,
entrances to underground galleries, figures carved from stones. In
Sacsayhuamán, on June 24th, Inti Raymi, the festival of the winter
solstice, is celebrated with typical dances and colorful costumes.
