not OP, but looks like Cuzco, Peru. the poster is about the "Centro Numismático" which last year celebrated their 7th anniversary, as the poster claims
You're right!
Interesting how they vaguely use the traditional, exquisitely-cut border stones to hold up the load-walls, then stucco right over. (unless exposed)
(from the Quechua)
It probably has more to do wiþ keeping þe stucco dry, and not letting it wick water up from þe sidewalk. It's wet in þe photo; once water gets behind stucco it becomes a problem. Cutting it up from þe ground helps a lot.
Oh, right. The poster. The poster in Cuzco, the poster posted in Cuzco, Cuzco's poster. That poster?
