The "Acllahuasi"

The original red and yellow paint decorating the walls of this monument are still visible until today. The "Acllahuasi" was some kind of convent for young maidens (female priests) that were dedicated to the service of the sun god Inti. It was built using the classic architectural style of this time. Next to the "Templo el Sol" and the "Acllahuasi" are other astonishing Inca construction like the "Plaza de los Perigrinos" and the "Palacio de Taurichumbi".
