🏛️ Stone, precision and symbolism: the constructions of Machu Picchu ✨
One of the things that impresses the most when walking through the citadel is the quality of its constructions. The Incas built every wall, every room and every temple fitting stone blocks together without using mortar, with an exactness that makes them withstand centuries of rain, wind and earthquakes.
Among the most interesting constructions of the site are the Temple of the Three Windows, the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Condor and the House of the Guardian. Each one has its own design, its own symbolism and its own place within the ceremonial and daily life of the citadel.
Visiting Machu Picchu and taking the time to walk through each of these constructions completely changes the experience. 🌿✨ It is not just seeing the landscape, it is understanding the city that the Incas built more than 500 years ago. Which of these constructions catches your attention the most?
