Huaca Santa Catalina is an archaeological site located at Jirón Pascual Saco Oliveros 875,[1] between Miguel Checa and Pascual Saco streets, in the neighbourhood of Santa Catalina, in La Victoria District, Lima, Peru.
[2] It's one of the few remains of the Qhapaq Ñan (the Inca road system) that exist in the city.
[3] It was an important meeting point for the two cultures that inhabited it, the Ychsmas and the Incas.

It was also an important place of worship and exploration.
