This chapter examines in detail the impact of seven periods of occupation and social and economic change on the town plan and building fabric of Cusco. After a brief note on the city’s mythical foundation, it comprises a description of the inka city as the Spaniards first saw it in 1533; the foundation of the Spanish city and its subsequent remodelling during the late sixteenth century; a description of the mid-seventeenth century, particularly after the earthquake of 1650; the changes in the late colonial period (eighteenth century); the subsequent decline during the republican period (nineteenth century); and its revival and the pressures of urban transport, public utilities, earthquakes, and tourism development on it throughout the twentieth century to the present day.
