Travel Tip: Sacred Plaza

5 stars
Published on Jan 31, 2008 by cosmoclaudio for Machu Picchu

The Sacred Plaza preserved its grandiosity until nowadays. You may know nothing about the Inca history, its religious rituals or stone working but you can still catch the importance of this place. Three particular temples are making up the plaza: the Sacristy, the Principal Temple, and the Temple of Three Windows. There are two rocks in the front of the Sacristy Temple which where used to make human sacrifices. The Principal Temple is said to have the most firm and secure structure. Around the Sacred Plaza protecting walls and terraces were built.
