Corvus+The+Cathedral+of+Cuzco

The Cathedral of Cuzco was built in 1560 by Juan Miguel de Veramendi for the white people of Peru. Christianity was meant to replace the religion of the Inca people. The building took nearly 100 years to complete, with one large rectangular area surrounded by two smaller buildings. The most embellac feature of Peru became the Cathedral of Cuzco after construction ended. Because of the richness of culture within the architecture, “the cathedral was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the City of Cusco listing in 1983” (Peru Guide). The site remains a high traffic destination for both locals and tourists, offering mass Monday through Friday to those who seek God.
