The Cathedral of Cuzco dominates the north-east side of the Plaza de Armas and sits on the foundations of Inca Viracocha’s palace.
The first Cusco Cathedral was built in 1539 at the Suntur Wasi, current Iglesia del Triunfo, but in 1560 there was an order to build a new cathedral on the Kiswir Kancha lot,
palace of Inca Wiracocha.
The design is constituted by a latin-cross base, the façade has a Renaissance style, very ornamental, and it contains the best work of colonial goldsmiths and wood carvers.
It also contains a valuable collection of canvases from the Escuela Cusqueña (Academy of Cusco).
There are two auxiliary chapels on its both sides: Capilla del Triunfo and Jesus, Maria y Jose.
The building process had two parts. First, they constructed the Capilla del Triunfo over the old Suntur Wasi (House of God) temple.
Afterwards, they erected the cathedral over the Palace of Inca Wiracocha.
The Spanish in conspiricy with the Roman Catholic Church made every attempt to keep the native people in line by the use of religion.
One attempt that is shown in the Cathedral is a painting of "The Last Supper" by Marcos Zapata. It shows Christ and the Apostles about
to dine on guinea-pig, washed down with a glass of chicha!
We were at The Cathedral Of Cusco at about 5:15 PM on the afternoon of April 18, 2006.
