Abstract

Powder Magazine

The ancient Inca Empire's Capital, and then relevant urban centre, lost its XVII century magnificence. The mining systems evolution and politic problems, like the Tupac Amaru rising, led to the need of building a powder magazine outside the city. It was built in 1804 with the project and direction of Atanasio Sotelo. Charts are in the Archivo General de Indias. Nowadays, only the main depot is standing.
