Read the text and check true (T) or false (F) The misnamed Fortress of Ollantaytambo is a fascinating place because it was never finished and this lack of completion gives us some excellent clues as to how the place was built. I should start off by explaining why I say Ollantaytambo is misnamed. The place was never designed to be a fortress and it s more likely that it, like Machu Picchu was viewed as a sacred place and the site was intended to be developed as place of worship. However, when the Conquistadors invaded Peru it is believed that the Inca King was "holed up here". It was the Spanish who attached the title of fortress to Ollantaytambo because of the siege of the Inca King. Indeed it was in 1563 that Manco Inca successfully defended the site against the Spanish troops and inflicted a significant blow to their perceived superiority. _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Ollantaytambo lacks of clues. Ollantaytambo was not misnamed. Ollantaytambo was worshiped. The Spaniards named Ollantaytambo fortress. Manco Inca defended the site against the Spaniards.
