Temple of the Three Windows
The temple of the three windows is located west of the main square. Its floor is a rectangular shape. The origin of its name comes from how the main face has 3 windows and 2 blind bays. Joined with Machu Picchu it’s the greatest achievement in architecture in all of Machu Picchu. Architects used smaller than centimeter precision to form the huge polyhedrons. Machu Picchu is mounted on a saddle between Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu with a great view of 2 vast valleys and impassable mountain. Its water supply was very tough and couldn’t be blocked easily. It has enough land area to feed 4 Machu Picchu populations. The hillsides besides providing more space for agriculture it was another defense mechanism for evil invaders to climb.
