The Inca capital, Cuzco, Peru. Inca walling, with finely carved stone blocks, in Calle Hatunrumioc - in Inca times known as Hathun'rumioq. The wall on the right holds the famous 'twelve cornered' stone and was the side of an enclosure housing the palace of Inca Roca (Roq'a). The street was the principal way out of the city in the direction of the Antisuyu one of the four 'quarters' of the Inca empire.
