Transformation of the Kingdom to Empire
With the Inca Pachacutec domains ceased to be a simple form the Tawantinsuyo kingdom, a state that managed to dominate and control political, military and economically to other states and chiefdoms located in the vicinity of the Andes. This transformation became the victories to several states that initially surrounded the Inca realm: mainly Chanca confederation and the dominion of the Ayamarca.

System and quechuización mitimaes
Pachacutec was also due to the implementation of the system or mitimaes mitmakuna-transfers-across the Tawantinsuyo. These were groups of people displaced by the State to any point conquered by the Incas in order to fulfill specific tasks that structure and cohesion of the empire. The mitimaes colonized, they brought the techniques and methods of production Cusco, taught the laws and customs, and shared the religion of the Incas. We also performed a control task of the newly incorporated into the Tawantinsuyo populations. Its function was to produce the basic elements that meet the needs of the subjects and reproduce the cultural traits with the aim of the newly incorporados.7 quechuizar

From the standpoint of urban and architectural achievements, Pachacutec ordered channel and Tullumayo Huatanay rivers, which frequently flooded the city of the Sun, Cuzco.
Also rebuilt and ornamented with great riches Inticancha the sanctuary or enclosure of the Sun, whose name was changed to the Coricancha, which means "gold room" .8 The first Inca emperor restored the palace or City Pomamarca Puma, and of Patallacta, where he died in Carmenca. Finally, planned the construction of the temple-fortress of Sacsayhuaman, located north of the city of Cusco, which he first raised his son Tupac Yupanqui and concluded his grandson Huayna Capac, Huascar and Atahualpa's father. Some historians attribute the acllahuasi also arranged in Cuzco, and the planning and construction of the citadel of Machu Picchu.
