Historical
overlook
The origin of Cajamarca dates from the pre-Inca period. The valley with the same name was the center of the Caxamarca Culture which reached its highest development between 500 and 1 000 AD. These territories were annexed to the Tahuantinsuyo Empire in 1 465 during Inca Pachacútec's government.
During the Inca Empire, Cajamarca became a very important administrative, military and religious center. Temples and palaces were built and there are still some traces of them, notably the Ransom Room.
On November 16th, 1 532, Cajamarca was the scenery of one of the most important episodes of the American history, when a group of Spaniards led by Francisco Pizarro took Inca Atahualpa as prisoner.
The city reflects the Spanish influence on its architecture characterized by its square design where, together with religious buildings from the middle of the seventeenth century and early eighteenth century, there are two-story houses with hip curved roof tiles many of which have carved stone porticos.
Today, the city of Cajamarca has been listed by the Organization of American States (OAS) as part of the Historic and Cultural Heritage of the Americas and a city that symbolizes Latin American Unity.
