English: The Santo Domingo Church was built in the 17th century on the walls of the Templo del Qorincancha – The Temple of the Sun – the most magnificent complex in Cusco. Its walls were covered in gold, and windows were constructed so the sun would cast a near blinding reflection of golden light off the precious metals inside. Current excavation is revealing more and more of the five chambers of the Temple of the Sun, which shows the best Inca stonework to be seen in Cusco. It possibly represented the “Navel of the World”; therefore, the world’s centre in the pre-Hispanic Andean Time. Cusco, Peru On May 21st 1950 another violent earthquake destroyed a large part of the convent and church as well as its tower leaving uncovered many Incan structures that were left undamaged by the quake.
