A Brief History
The first vestiges of human presence in Ayacucho are found in the Pikimachay cave and date from 20,000 BC. Later on, during the formative period, between 1,000 BC and the first years of our era, other settlements appeared in Rancha, Chupas and Wichqana. The Warpa civilization developed in the Ayacucho region between 250 and 500 AD followed by the Wari Empire and to then give way to the Chanka regional state from the 6th to 12th centuries.
After the Incas conquered Ayacucho they built a provincial administrative center of great importance in the zone of Vilcashuaman. When the Spanish arrived, they founded the city of San Juan de la Frontera, located between the towns of Quinua and Huamanguillas. However, due to strategic and weather reasons, the center was transferred to Pukaray.
In December 9, 1824, the Battle of Ayacucho put an end to Spanish dominance.
Main Attractions in Ayacucho
The ancestral colonial mansions and 38 churches and monasteries in Ayacucho make it a very attractive city. The Cathedral and churches of Santo Domingo, San Cristobal, La Merced, Compañia de Jesus, San Francisco de Asís, Santa Clara and Santa Teresa stand out. Their architecture –some date from 1540– is remarkable. Some were built in Baroque style, others in Churrigueresque.
