Hatunrumiyoc Street is lined with ancient walls from the Inca era. The entire ancient wall is made of pieces of large stones that are cut flat and stacked like a puzzle. Although the stones on the wall are of different shapes and sizes, the ingenious combination is amazing. The stones are so tightly combined that even a piece of paper cannot be inserted. This is the brilliant masonry technology of the ancient Inca masons. This ancient wall street is more famous for a dodecagonal Inca stone (Piedradelos 12Angulos), which attracts many tourists to take pictures here. As its name suggests, the dodecagonal Inca stone has 12 sides and 12 corners, and is an existing Inca stone with polygonal corners. This seemingly random but meticulously calculated construction method is actually stronger than a neatly cut stone wall, standing upright after several major earthquakes. Go a little further and there is a side street (IncaRoca) on the right hand side with the famous jaguar stone wall. There are more than 20 stones on the top to spell out the image of a jaguar (Puma). Seeing or not seeing a jaguar requires your own imagination.
