EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Coricancha Temple, located in Cusco, Peru. The image was captured in 2015 by the talented photographer Luis Rosendo. The temple is situated within the Santo Domingo Convent and Church, a historic colonial building constructed by Dominican Friars in 1530. What makes this architectural masterpiece even more fascinating is that it was built directly over Inca Palace ruins. The juxtaposition of ancient Inka history with Spanish colonial influence creates a unique blend of cultures and eras. The Coricancha Temple holds great significance as it was once considered the most important religious site for the Incas. Dedicated to Inti, their sun god, it showcased stunning golden walls and precious artifacts before being looted during Spanish conquest. Luis Rosendo's photograph beautifully captures both the grandeur of this sacred place and its rich historical background. It allows viewers to appreciate not only the intricate details of Santo Domingo but also provides a glimpse into Cusco's vibrant past. As we admire this image, let us reflect on how different civilizations have left their mark on our world, shaping our present through layers of history. This print serves as a reminder of our collective heritage and invites us to explore further into Peru's cultural tapestry beyond what meets the eye.
