The construction of the cathedral was no small feat; it spanned nearly a century, from 1560 to 1654. This extensive period of construction, renovation and expansion explains the cathedral's eclectic architectural style. It is a living museum of architectural trends, from the Renaissance and Gothic of the Spanish to the incorporation of indigenous influences.

During my first visits, photography was still allowed in the church, but now it is unfortunately prohibited.

The cathedral is an important sight in the heart of Cusco with its entire art history, which tells a lot about the invasion of the Conquestadores and the silent resistance of the Inca population.

The Cathedral of Cusco is a three-aisled church with 24 vaults and eleven chapels, 85 metres long and 45 metres wide, and the massive towers reach a height of 33 metres. The three naves are the same size as in the cathedrals of Lima and Jaén. The latter was the model for the two Peruvian cathedrals.
