Andahuaylillas
Towns, Cusco
Fodor's Review:
The main attraction of the small town of Andahuaylillas, 8 km (5 mi) southeast of Pikillacta, is a small 17th-century adobe-towered church built by the Jesuits on the central plaza over the remains of an Inca temple. The contrast between the simple exterior and the rich, expressive, colonial baroque art inside is notable: fine examples of the Cusqueña school of art decorate the upper interior walls. Traces of gilt that once covered the church walls are still visible. The church keeps no fixed hours. Ask around town for someone to let you inside. The town's name is a corruption of Antawaylla, Quechua for "copper prairie."
