The Temple of the Sun, or Templo Del Sol, was a sacred temple built by the Inca for ceremonies to pay tribute and give offerings to the sun.<br><br>The sun was a vital part of Incan life, considered to be responsible for the creation of all things, therefore this temple was off limits to the common people. Only sacred priests were allowed inside.<br><br>Priests used the Temple of the Sun to view the summer and winter solstices from the two windows in the temple. These windows were strategically placed on the north and east sides, and modern scholars theorize that they may have been able to measure the stars and solstices.
