The Killke occupied the region before the arrival of the Incas. They built the astonishing fortress of Saqsayhuamán around 1100 AD, along with its roads and irrigation systems.
Approximately one century later, the Incas would settle in the region and proclaim Cusco the capital of their empire – la Ciudad Imperial.
