Wamanmarka (Quechua "population of eagles") is a pre-Inca and Inca citadel at 3,600 m elevation near Santo Tomas in Cusco Region. The complex features terraced circular plazas, rectangular enclosures with interior niches, kallancas, stairways, temples, cemeteries, and an intiwatana solar stone. Its origins trace to the Wari and Collao cultures, though most standing structures are Inca-period. Uniquely, its chullpa burial towers contain remains spanning Collao, Wari, and Inca periods, making it one of Peru's few sites displaying such cultural continuity.
