Saqsaywaman

Saqsayhuaman en quechua, est une forteresse inca située à deux kilomètres de la ville de Cuzco.
Construite à l'origine dans un but défensif, la forteresse se trouve à 3700 m d'altitude. Elle a la forme d'une tête de puma, animal sacré dans la cosmologie inca.

Saqsayhuaman is an Inca walled complex near the old city of Cusco, at an altitude of 3,700 m.
Some believe the walls were a form of fortification, while others believe it was only used to form the head of the Puma that Saqsayhuaman along with Cuzco form when seen from above.
