World Heritage Site in Peru

The Historic Centre of Cusco, is the historic city centre of the Peruvian city of Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire. It consists of two areas: the first is the Monumental Zone established by the Peruvian government in 1972, and the second one—contained within the first one—is the World Heritage Site established by UNESCO in 1983 under the name of City of Cuzco, where a selected number of buildings are marked with the organisation's blue-and-white shield since 2021.
