Chan Chan Trujillo


The Chimu Kingdom, with Chan Chan as its capital, reached its apogee in the 15th century, not long before falling to the Incas. The planning of this huge city, the largest in pre-Columbian America, reflects a strict political and social strategy, marked by the city's division into nine 'citadels' or 'palaces' forming autonomous units.


The Sun and The Moon Temples

These ceremonial centers are located in the countryside of the District of Moche, 5 Km, south of the Trujillo City. These Huaca or Temple of the Sun is a scaled pyramid measuring approximately 43 m. in height which, according to tradition, was built in only three days by 250,000 men, using approximately 70 million adobes. It was used for ceremonial purposes and possibly in administrative functions as well as for housing for upper class. The Huaca or temple of the moon, located 500m from the previous structure, is a monument comprised of overlapping tempers built during different periods. A tomb was uncovered here, with over 40 sacrificed warriors. A top is strong adobe surface that are remains of large multi – colored murals, where the face of the Moche God, Aia Apaec is depicted.
