The Incas

The Inca capital city of Cusco is one of the finest examples of both traditional Inca and colonial architecture.

The Incas were highly regarded for their textiles, which were influenced by the artistic works of the pre-Inca Chimú culture.

The Inca were well-known for their use of gold, silver, copper, bronze, and other metals for tools, weapons, and decorative ornaments.

After the fall of the Inca Empire, many aspects of Inca culture were systematically destroyed or irrevocably changed by Spanish conquerors.
