Description
Español: Vista de Saksaywaman, una ciudadela situada en las faldas al norte de la ciudad de es:Cusco, capital histórica del antiguo Imperio Inca, Perú. La ciudadela la comenzaron a construir los Killkes a comienzos del siglo XII y los incas la expandieron a partir del siglo XIII. Las paredes de piedra seca se componen de enormes piedras afinadas de forma tan precisa las unas con las otras que no era necesario utilizar mortero.
English: View of Saksaywaman, a citadel on the northern outskirts of the city of en:Cusco, historic capital of the Inca Empire, today Peru. The first sections of the citadel were first built by the Killke culture about 1100 and expanded by the Inca from the 13th century. The dry stone walls are composed of huge stones, which boulders are carefully cut by workers to fit them together extremely tightly without mortar.
Deutsch: Ansicht von Sacsayhuamán, einer Festungsanlage in den vorgelagerten Bergen nördlich von Cusco, der historischen Hauptstadt des Inkareiches. Der Bau der Wehranlage begann zur Zeit der sogenannten Killke-Kultur im frühen 12. Jahrhundert und die Anlage wurde ab dem 13. Jahrhundert durch die Inkas weiter ausgebaut. Die Festungswälle bilden ein Trockenmauerwerk aus großen Steinen, die so exakt bearbeitet wurden, dass sie ineinander passen, ohne dass Mörtel verwendet werden musste.

Budowę twierdzy rozpoczęli Killkowie na początku XII wieku, a ich następcy, Inkowie, rozbudowywali ją począwszy od XIII wieku. Mury zostały wykonane metodą suchych kamieni (ang. dry stone) – wielkie kamienie przycięto tak dokładnie, że pasują do siebie bez użycia zaprawy.
