关于
快速信息: The exterior appears carved from a single block of stone thanks to its stunning Renaissance and Baroque fusion facade made of volcanic rock. Inside, the cathedral houses 17 oil paintings from the Cusco School of painting and a silver-plated altar that gleams under the dome's natural light.
亮点: Look closely at the facade's intricate carvings and you'll spot Andean symbols like the chakana (Inca cross) and puma heads woven into the Catholic imagery, a subtle act of indigenous resistance. The cathedral's builders used local pink volcanic stone that shifts color throughout the day, turning a deep rose at sunset and silvery grey under the midday sun.
