Brief Description
Situated in the Peruvian Andes, Cuzco developed, under the Inca ruler Pachacutec, into a complex urban centre with distinct religious and administrative functions. It was surrounded by clearly delineated areas for agricultural, artisan and industrial production. When the Spaniards conquered it in the 16th century, they preserved the basic structure but built Baroque churches and palaces over the ruins of the Inca city.
科斯科古城
科斯科古城位于秘鲁的安第斯山脉，在印加统治者帕查库蒂之下发展成为一个复杂的城市中心，具有独特的宗教和行政职能。古城 的四周是清晰可见的农业、手工业和工业区。当16世纪西班牙人占领这块土地时，入侵者保留了原有建筑，但同时又在这衰落的印第安城内建造了巴洛克风格的教 堂和宫殿。
