Die Plaza de Armas ist das Herz der Stadt, umrahmt von der Kathedrale und der Jesuitenkirche La Compañía. Inka-Mauerwerk ist im ganzen Zentrum erhalten, am berühmtesten im Qorikancha, dem Sonnentempel, auf dem die Spanier ein Kloster errichteten, und im zwölfeckigen Stein in der Straße Hatun Rumiyoc.
