Temple of Wiraqocha in Raqchi

This temple is almost like a miniature of Machu Picchu. There was a wall built around the perimeter for 7 km long. The compound had 6000 people during the 1400 AD. The temple dimension was 25 m width x 18 m height x 19 m long. The temple was used by the royal palace and commoners were living behind the temple. The foundation of the structure were stone based. The cylindrical bases in front of the temple used to be columns. The whole place was so big and it was impossible to see them all.
