Ancient Templo Q’oricancha.
Z, where is this exactly?
—— yet another one of those places “I’ve been before”…
Coricancha, Koricancha, Qoricancha or Qorikancha (“The Golden Temple,” from Quechua quri gold; kancha enclosure) was the most important temple in the Inca Empire. It is located in Cusco, Peru, which was the capital of the empire.
Much of its stonework was used as the foundation for the seventeenth-century Santo Domingo Convent. It was built after the 1650 earthquake destroyed the first Dominican convent.
