About
Qollmay is an archaeological site attributed to the Inca Empire, situated in the Cusco Region of Peru at an altitude of 3,436 meters. It features multiple buildings nestled against a granite cliff, believed to have served administrative and religious purposes. The site is divided into six sectors and includes about a dozen foundations, several well-preserved walls, and a significant walled-off cavern with Inca stone masonry, likely used for ceremonial activities. The surrounding area is characterized by Inca-constructed rectangular terraces, now overgrown with grass, indicating agricultural use. The site is thought to have been active during the Late Post-Classical Period, reflecting the complex societal and religious practices of the Inca civilization.
