Comment

The temple of Huaytara, which is the main construction found in this archaeological complex, is a work of the Inca Pachacutec (Inca Yupanqui) that was built in the early fifteenth century. A century later, this building was transformed into a Catholic church in honor of San Juan Bautista de Huaytará.
It is believed that the original Inca building was intended to be a temple of the sun, although some also believe that it could have been a palace.
Regarding the architecture of the Inca temple, it was made from blocks of pink granite stone. The presence of niches, as well as double jamb entrances, is a constant in the building. Automatically translated

Le temple de Huaytara, qui est la principale construction que l'on trouve dans ce complexe archéologique, est une œuvre de l'Inca Pachacutec (Inca Yupanqui) qui fut construite au début du XVe siècle. Un siècle plus tard, ce bâtiment a été transformée en église catholique en l'honneur de San Juan Bautista de Huaytará.
On pense que le bâtiment inca originel était destiné à être un temple du soleil, bien que certains pensent aussi qu'il aurait pu s'agir d'un palais.
