about Cuzco
Cuzco, in the local Quechua language as Qusqu
is a city in southeastern Peru, near the Urubamba Valley (Sacred Valley)
of the Andes mountain range. It is the capital of the Cusco Region
as well as the Cusco Province. The city has a population of 348,935
which is triple the figure of 20 years ago. Located on the eastern
end of the Knot of Cusco, its altitude is around 3,300 m (10,800 ft).
Cusco is the historic capital of the Inca Empire.

Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire (1200s-1532).
Many believe that the city was planned to be shaped like a puma.
The city had two sectors: the urin and hanan, which were further
divided to each encompass two of the four provinces, Chinchasuyu (NW),
Antisuyu (NE), Qontisuyu (SW) and Collasuyu (SE).
A road led from each of these quarters to the corresponding quarter
of the empire. Each local leader was required to build a house in the city
and live part of the year in Cusco, but only in the quarter of Cusco that
corresponded to the quarter of the empire in which he had territory.
After Pachacuti, when an Inca died his title went to one son
and his property was given to a corporation controlled
by his other relatives (a process called split inheritance),
so each title holder had to build a new house and add new lands
to the empire, in order to own the land his family needed to maintain
after his death.
According to Inca legend, the city was built by Sapa Inca Pachacuti,
the man who transformed the Kingdom of Cusco from a sleepy
city-state into the vast empire of Tahuantinsuyu.
But archaeological evidence points to a slower, more organic growth
of the city beginning before Pachacuti. There was however a city plan,
and two rivers were channeled around the city.
The city fell to the sphere of Huáscar in the division
of the after the death of Huayna Capac in 1527.
It was captured by the generals of Atahualpa in April 1532
in the Battle of Quipaipan, and nineteen months later by the Spaniards.
