Around the square is located the administrative district with five large rectangular buildings of hewn stone and gabled roofs called kallanka. They were destined to diverse political, administrative, ceremonial activities and craft manufacturing. One of them (kallanka 2), whose walls, gables and trapezoidal openings have been reconstructed, is located in the southern sector of the interior of the aukaipata square.
