Why is this beautiful city vacated? So they take up residence in the plaza, Pizarro and his conquistadors.

There's 176 of them, 170-some-odd number of them. Nobody knows the exact number, but there's 170-some of them. And they're totally surrounded by thousands of Inca, and the Sapa Inca is with them.
