WHAT IS AND WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE LOGO OF OUR FOUNDATION?

The fundamental objective of the Andalusian University Foundation “Inca Garcilaso” is the study of the Latin American economy and society in order to promote its development.

Our Foundation seeks to ground itself on solid and deep foundations, and such pillars within Latin American societies are precisely the pre-Columbian cultures.

In Cuzco, the birthplace of the Inca Garcilaso, and in a street that he probably walked often in his youth, there is a solid stone wall typical of the buildings of pre-Columbian Peru. One of these stones has been adopted as our logo.

The configuration of lines that mark the logo could also be interpreted as forming a net, lines connecting nodes, contacts or mutual support. The very concepts that are the life-blood of our projects.
