Sacsayhuman near Cuzco, Peru

No presentation of stone masonry would be complete without including the Inca ruins in South America.  Sacsayhuman is an Inca ruin near Cuzco, Peru.  The size of the granite blocks used at Sacsayhuman and tightness to which they were fit is difficult to believe.  Stone work of this scale will almost certainly never be built again.
