The walls are sedimentary or Imperial Inca and illustrate the expression of architecture in pre-Columbian America . It was the center of the religion dedicated to different gods and deities: the Rainbow, Thunder, Stars, and Moon and, of course, the Sun himself. The kidnapped idols of subdued tribes were kept hostage in the temple and if the tribe stepped out of line the idols were ridiculed and then destroyed.

After the Cathedral, we ascend up towards the Ruins near Cusco: Saqsaywaman is towards the northeast of Cusco . Its altitude is at 3,600 mts (11,800 ft). It is a bold demonstration of ancient construction skills. Made of massive stones weighing up to 17,000 kg (125 tons), this ruin was called The Fortress by the Spanish. It was more than simply a military structure. Some authors say the zigzagging shape of the walls represented the God of Lightning, an important Inca deity.
