Temple of Viracocha, Raqchi. Beautifully curves walls at one end of the main temple wall show the Inca masonry skills. The niches are believed to have been used for statues - the god Viracocha was the creator god, superior to all the other objects of Inca worship such as the sun, moon, and natural phenomena.
