Cusco (in Quechua: Qusqu or Qosqo), located on the eastern slope of the Andes, in the basin of the Huatanay river, a tributary of the Vilcanota river. It is the capital of the Cusco region and, in addition, as declared in the Peruvian constitution, it is the historical capital of the country.
It was formerly the capital of the Inca Empire and one of the most important cities of the viceroyalty of Peru. During the viceroyalty, under Spanish sovereignty, several churches, a university, palaces and baroque and neoclassical squares were built.
These constructions are the attractions that make the city the main tourist destination in the country. It was declared a National Historic Monument in 1972 and a World Heritage Site in 1983 by UNESCO. It is often referred to as the “Rome of America” due to the large number of monuments it possesses.
