Sacsayhuamán (also known as Saksaq Waman)
is an Inca walled complex near the old city of Cusco,
at an altitude of 3,701 m.

Some believe the walls were a form of fortification,
while others believe it was only used to form the head of the Puma
that Sacsayhuamán along with Cuzco form when seen from above.
Like much Inca stonework, there is still mystery surrounding
how they were constructed.
The structure is built in such a way that a single piece of paper
will not fit between many of the stones. This precision,
combined with the rounded corners of the limestone blocks,
the variety of their interlocking shapes,
and the way the walls lean inward,
is thought to have helped the ruins survive devastating
earthquakes in Cuzco.
The Spanish harvested a large quantity of rock from the walls
of the structure to build churches in Cuzco, which is why the walls
are in perfect condition up to a certain height, and missing above
that point. Sacsayhuamán is also noted for an extensive system
of underground passages known as chincanas which connect the fortress
to other Inca ruins within Cuzco. Several people have died after
becoming lost while seeking a supposed treasure buried along
the passages. This has led the city of Cuzco to block
off the main entrance to the chincanas in Sacsayhuamán.
On March 13, 2008, archaeologists discovered the ruins
of an ancient temple in the periphery of Sacsayhuaman;
it is believed to have been built by the Killke culture
which occupied the site between 900 and 1200 AD.
