"What remains with you is the sense of a great outrage, magnificent but unforgivable. The Spaniards tore down the Inca temples and grafted splendid churches and mansions onto their foundations. This [Cusco] is one of the most beautiful monuments to bigotry and sheer stupid brutality in the whole world."
--Christopher Isherwood, "The Condor and the Cows," 1948.
