Summary
edit.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The Principal Temple, a three-sided edifice with huge and cleverly constructed foundations. Called the Principal Temple because of its size, it has a mini-temple adjoining which Bingham named the Sacristy as it seemed a likely place for a priest to have collected himself before worship. At the western end of the temple is a kite-shaped stone embedded in the ground pointing south and said to symbolise the Southern Cross [machupicchuperu.info]. This temple is located across from the Priest’s house and is of better architectural style. It has three walls, leaving the side to the plaza open. The stone blocks used in the building are big like those used in the Temple of the Three Windows and are also finely finished, as much in the assembling of the rocks as in the finish. In the back wall there is a special stone altar and the three walls possess trapezoidal niches of a very good finish. Sadly, seismic movement has affected the back wall that runs the risk of collapsing [incatrail-peru.com] |
