The Royal Mausoleum

Found directly below the Temple of the Sun and is formed by a natural cave that has been carved out further from the natural rock.
At the entrance is a rock with a characteristic symbol of Inca religion carved into it.
Inside are large vaults leading archaeologists to believe that this was a mausoleum used to house the mummies of the noble Inca class.
