by Caral Perú
Main building in the upper half of the city. It was formed by two buildings of quadrangular and a stepped pyramidal volume. One of them is 53 m long and eight meters high; the other one is 22 m long and three meter high. In both building there is along series of consecutive architectonic refurbishments.
Initially they built two independent buildings but with related activities. They were refurbishing it over time until they formed a single monumental building. These two buildings were kept relatively independent, since their facades have central stairs oriented towards the northeast, in line with the central axis of the upper half of the city.
