Also known as Wanuco Marka or Old Huánuco, this citadel is typical of buildings from the late Horizon or Inca Period (1476-1534 AD). Construction started in 1460, but work was interrupted in 1539 when the Spanish arrived to found the colonial city of Huánuco. This Inca city was planned with a strict sense of order and became an administrative center, as well as an important point for textile production and other industries. The well-preserved residence of Inca Wasi lies on the eastern side of the city.
