Enclosure of the Ten Gates
MachuPicchu, Perú
South of the upper cemetery stands this building, with eight doors on the main facade and two on the sides, making a total of ten (hence one of its names).
Regarding its function, two theories predominate: One suggests it was used as a textile or pottery workshop. The other proposes it was a barracks or way station serving as communal lodging for soldiers or messengers.
