Description
.It is the only vestige of Inca architecture in the city of Cajamarca. It was built in stone, with the walls slightly inclined to give it the trapezoidal shape, characteristic of Inca buildings. The Inca Atahualpa, who was a prisoner in this room, offered Francisco Pizarro to fill the room twice with silver and once with gold in exchange for his freedom.
