Royal palace discovered in Cusco

According to the archaeologists that made the discovery of the palace in Cusco, the structure may have been part of the royal palace of the Inca Pachacútec’s wife. Pachacútec (He who remakes the world) is known as the first Inca emperor who began the expansion and the organization of the empire. He is also remember for his architectural and engineering legacy that reach monumental proportions across the empire including the redesign of its capital, Cusco, in the XV century.

Among the discoveries are two enclosures and part of a stone wall, which was built using the same technology used to build the Koricancha temple during Pachacútec’s reign. Two funeral areas were found as well, one with the remains of a woman buried with a few kitchen ceramics, and the other hasn’t been uncovered yet.
