Qorikancha
Said to be the most important temple of the Inca Empire, once lavished in gold, there is very little of Qorikancha still standing, and certainly no gold. But don’t think that this is due to the wear and tear of the years, rather it was the Spaniards’ greed and quest for power. You see, the temple was amazing and had an inexplicable significance to the Inca people; it had to be destroyed and replaced with a Catholic cathedral.
