It was one of the most beloved and respected temples in the city. "The golden precinct," as it was known, was a sacred place where people worshiped the greatest Inca god: the INTI. For this reason, people could only arrive on an empty stomach, barefoot and with a little load on their backs as a sign of humility, according to lead priest "Wilaq Umuo". According to history, when the Spanish entered the temple, they did not respect any of the above mentioned rules.
