About Cajamarca
Cajamarca is a city in Peru's northern highlands, in the Andes Mountains. Baroque colonial architecture surrounds the historic main square, Plaza de Armas. The Cajamarca Cathedral has a gold leaf–covered altar, while the Monastery of San Francisco has catacombs and a religious art museum. Nearby, El Cuarto del Rescate (Ransom Room) is where the last Incan emperor Atahualpa was imprisoned.
