The Intendancy of Cuzco (es|Intendencia de Cuzco), also known informally as Cuzco Province (es|Provincia de Cuzco), was one of the territorial divisions of the Viceroyalty of Peru, ruled from the city of Cuzco and under the jurisdiction of the Bishopric of Cuzco.
Established in 1784, it was phased out during the Peruvian War of Independence, starting with the creation of the Department of Cuzco on April 26, 1822, as part of the Protectorate of Peru.[1] After the royalist defeat at the Battle of Ayacucho on December 9, 1824, the news reached the intendancy later that month, with Pío de Tristán being chosen as interim viceroy until the Peruvian troops reached the city.[2]
The intendancy was divided into eleven partidos.[3]
