   This archaeological complex is divided by two areas: the first one is the agriculture zone with terraces and platforms, and the other one is the urban zone where the main civil and religious activities were developed. The Inca Empire emerged from the Peruvian highlands in the early thirteenth century, and culminates with the death of Inca Atahualpa in 1533.
   
   The Citadel of Machu Picchu was built in 1450 A.D. under the dominion of Inca Pachacutec, and it was an important urban and religious center for the Incan Empire, the biggest civilization during pre-Columbian era. The population was mainly dedicated to agriculture, and they built platforms in order to cultivate their food.
