The only building left from the Inca empire in the city is this room, where the Inca Atahualpa was held captive by the Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro.
The Ransom Room is a small building located in Cajamarca, Peru. It is considered to be the place where the Inca Empire came to an end with the capture and eventual execution of the Inca Emperor Atahualpa.
