More information

The Temple of the Sun, also known as Coricancha, is considered to have been the most important temple from the Inca Empire, located in Cusco, Peru.

Did you know...

Built around 1200, the Temple of the Sun was built in dedication to the god Inti, bearer of life and light, hence the reason why its walls were covered with gold.

After the conquest, the Spaniards built the Santo Domingo convent on its ruins.

What to see?

The site of the Temple of the Sun offers an insight into the Incan way of life. It still has impressive walls, which show the architectural and sculptural mastery of this ancient civilization. It's thought that religious ceremonies would have been performed inside, in dedication to the sun.

How to visit the Temple of the Sun

Coricancha is an iconic landmark of Peru and Civitatis offers both private and group tours. If you're thinking of booking an organized circuit of several days, Cusco is a regular stop on many of these tourist routes.
