OLLANTAYTAMBO

Ollantaytambo (Quechua: Ullantaytampu, «storehouse or inn of Ollanta») is a Peruvian locality and Inca archaeological site, capital of the homonymous district located in the province of Urubamba, in the department of Cuzco.
The archaeological site preserves immense Inca constructions, such as the Temple of the Sun, the Monumental Gate, the Bath of the Ñusta and many others. Here the troops of the rebel Inca Manco Inca and the Spanish invaders commanded by Hernando Pizarro clashed.
Ollantaytambo was a strategic military, religious and agricultural centre that still dazzles with its stone terraces and its imposing constructions of more than four metres high. It was here that Manco Inca confronted the Spanish troops of Hernando Pizarro and won the victory.
