The Inca civilization, which was mostly destroyed by Spanish invaders in the 16th century, is thought to have had a royal estate or sacred religious site at Machu Picchu, which lies hidden away in the mountainous countryside northwest of Cuzco, Peru.
The Inca citadel of Machu Picchu dates back to the 15th century and is situated on a 2,430-meter (7,970-foot) mountain crest in southern Peru's Eastern Cordillera. It is situated 80 kilometres (50 miles) northwest of Cusco in the Machupicchu District of the Urubamba Province, above the Sacred Valley. It is passed by the Urubamba River, which cuts through the Cordillera to form a canyon with a tropical mountain environment.
Machu Picchu was constructed with polished dry-stone walls in the traditional Inca manner. The Intihuatana, the Sun Temple, and the Room of the Three Windows are its three main buildings.
