Like other districts, it was inhabited by the Quechua nobility. In the square there is a church that seems to have been built on top of an Inca sanctuary dedicated to the cult of ´´Illapa´´ (God of thunder, lightning and lightning). Possibly it was first opened in 1544 by the second Bishop Juan Solano. Although some other versions say that it was opened after 1559 by Viceroy Andrés Hurtado of the order of Mendoza. Its structure was simple with a rectangular floor plan and adobe walls, but after the earthquakes in 1650 and 1950 it was partially reinforced with stone walls. It simply has a door and two columns and a stone tower for the bell.

San Blas is today a neighborhood in the center of the city known as the ´´District of the Artists´´, with the narrow and twisted streets. In Inca times it was one of the most important districts of Cusco and its name was ´´T´oqo-kachi´´ (T´oqo = hollow; kachi = salt).

One of the greatest jewels of colonial art in the whole continent is found in this church and it is the Pulpit of San Blas, it is a filigree made of cedar wood. It is not known with certainty who the artists or the artist were and how long the work lasted and no other details about it, however the pulpit is a silent witness to a great Catholic devotion and consecrated work. There is enough evidence to affirm that it was carved with funds given by the art protector Bishop Manuel Mollinedo y Angulo who was in the late seventeenth century. There are serious differences about the identity of the artist and the representation. Most of the authors indicate that it was made by the most famous Quechua: Juan Tomas Tuyro Tupaq who was a contemporary and protégé of Mollinedo and Angulo who entrusted him with the manufacture of various works. It could also be the work of some other contemporary artists of Mollinedo such as Martín de Torres, Diego Martinez de Oviedo who made the main Altar of the Society of Jesus, or Franciscan Luis Montes who made the choir of the Church of San Francisco. The oral tradition has its version collected by Ángel Carreño who in his ´´Cusqueñas Traditions´´ had declared the name of Esteban Orcasitas as the author of the pulpit but in the edition of his book the name was changed to Juan Tomas Tuyro Tupaq, which was Quechua and Cusqueño, but according to that traditional version he was a leper from Huamanga (Ayacucho). The story says that he once had a dream of a revelation from the ´´Virgin Santa del Acontecimiento Bueno´´ who told him that if he wanted to heal from his leprosy he had to look for her in the small square of Arrayanpata in the City of Cusco.
