A year after seizing the Inca ruler Atahualpa at Cajamarca, and months after having him executed, Francisco Pizarro’s Spanish force entered Cuzco, the Inca capital, on 15 November 1533 without a battle. The city’s treasures, including the gold of the Coricancha temple, were stripped and melted down, and a Spanish city was built on Inca foundations.
