About
The stone forms part of the wall of a palace attributed to the Inca Roca, now the Archbishop's Palace and a museum of religious art. Its twelve precisely cut angles lock seamlessly with the surrounding blocks, a striking example of the Inca masonry that has survived centuries of earthquakes.
Best time to go: Visit early in the morning, before the crowds gather in the narrow street of Hatun Rumiyoc.
