The photo shows the present-day ruins of Machu Picchu, an Inca city that has been named a World Heritage Site by the United Nations for its architectural splendor and its historical importance.
Machu Picchu is a terraced citadel with remains of temples, palaces, fountain and altars. The fabled âLost City of the Incasâ is thought to have been constructed by the Incas around 1450 and is an architectural marvel. The citadel sits 7,970 feet (2,430 meters) above sea level in the Sacred Valley northwest of Cusco. It remains a mystery what purpose Machu Picchu served and why it was abandoned.
