DESCRIPTION

This virtual experience explores LA ALMUDENA, THE OLDEST CEMETERY OF CUSCO, BUILT DIRECTLY OVER WHAT WAS ONCE AN IMPORTANT INKA CEREMONIAL SPACE. Rather than presenting the site as a place of mourning, this tour approaches it as a POWERFUL EXAMPLE OF CULTURAL CONTINUITY, TRANSFORMATION, AND LAYERED HISTORY. Through architecture, symbols, urban development, and historical context, we examine HOW THE SPANISH COLONIAL CITY REDEFINED SACRED SPACES, often REUSING INKA TEMPLES AS FOUNDATIONS FOR NEW RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL STRUCTURES. La Almudena becomes a key location to understand how different worldviews—Inka and European—intersected, overlapped, and reshaped Cusco’s identity over time. This tour reveals how cemeteries function as historical documents, reflecting social hierarchies, artistic styles, beliefs, and collective memory. Presented with warmth, curiosity, and respect, the experience invites participants to read the city of Cusco through one of its most meaningful yet overlooked spaces.
