It was a short walk up to Santa Apolonia - a prominent Cajamarca landmark. We continued up past the small Capilla to see the "Seat of the Inca".
Here we are on the Inca stone seats with the city behind.
But then we found some other "seat stones" which were more throne like.
Myself and a view of the city of Cajamarca.
There was plenty to see in Cajamarca. It was moving to visit the "Cuarto del Rescate" (Ransom chamber). This is the room that the Inca King Atahualpa promised the spanish that he would fill three times (once with gold and twice with silver) in return for his freedom. In the photo on the left the marker on the wall shows the height to which the room was filled. In the right hand photo the stone behind Lorena is the stone on which Atahualpa was killed (even after paying the ransom 6 tonnes gold and 12 tonnes of silver).
