Sacsayhuaman

Sacsayhuamán is a walled complex high above Cusco in Peru, historic capital of Inca Empire. Three parallel walls were built in different levels with lime stones of enormous sizes. It is thought that the winding walls represent the teeth of the puma’s head. The largest wall is 8.5 meter high and weighs about 140 metric tons. The wall is built in such an adjacent way that even a tiny single piece of paper will not fit between them. Cusco and Saksaywaman together were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983.
