The Convent of Santo Domingo in Cusco, Peru, is a significant historical and architectural site that showcases the fusion of Inca and Spanish colonial cultures. Built on the foundations of the Inca temple Qorikancha, which was the richest temple in the Inca Empire dedicated to the sun god Inti, the convent illustrates the dramatic changes brought by Spanish conquest. The Spanish colonizers constructed the Baroque-style convent in the 17th century, incorporating the original Inca stonework into its structure.
