The city was built in 1440 after Christ. The city was very hard to reach so the archaeologists think that it was used as a country home to rest a little and maybe do some work because the nobles got houses there too. The city was inhabited till 1532 when the Spanish came and conquered the Inca's. Machu Piccu was never found by the Spanish and that's the only reason why it's still intact.
