The Cathedral of Cuzco is the result of various projects prepared by different architects who, in a very short time, took over the work. The first cathedral in Cuzco is the Iglesia del Triunfo, built in 1539 on the basis of the Viracocha Inca palace. At present, this church is an auxiliary chapel of the Cathedral.

Between 1560 and 1664 the Cathedral Basilica of this city was built. Its construction was entrusted to Juan Miguel de Veramendi in 1560, who was replaced two years later by Juan Correa. Other masters followed him, until in 1615 Miguel Gutiérrez Sencio, an architect who followed Marco Vitruvio and Jacopo Vignola, and admirer of the sober and pure style established by Juan de Herrera in El Monasterio de The Escorial. Under his direction, the Cathedral of Cuzco was completed in 1649.

The construction material was stone from nearby areas and red granite blocks were also reused from the fortress known as Sacsayhuamán.

Center of the city.The Cathedral of Cuzco or Cathedral Basilica of the Virgin of the Assumption is the main temple of the city of Cuzco, in Peru and houses the headquarters of the Diocese of Cuzco.

It was recognized as a minor Basilica of the Catholic Church, on February 8, 1928.

The building, with three naves, stands on a hall-type floor plan. A surprising detail is the fusion between the Tuscan order of the capitals and friezes and the type of cover used. the ribbed vault, characteristic of the Gothic. This gives rise to a surprising amalgam of styles, frequent in the Baroque style of Latin America.

This cathedral, with a Renaissance façade and baroque, late-Gothic and Plateresque interiors, has one of the most outstanding examples of colonial goldwork. Also important are its carved wooden altars.

Since in this city painting on canvases was developed in the so-called Cuzco School of painting, it is precisely in the cathedral that important samples of local artists of the time can be seen.
