It is a pre-Inca pyramid of adobe bricks. It was one of the most important
administrative and ceremonial centers of the Lima culture, settled in the areas
of the Chancay, Chillón, Rimac, and Lurín valleys from 200 A.D. – 700 A.D.
Sometimes, events or musical shows take place there. You can also find a site
museum that exhibits pieces found in the excavations. The complex was a
ceremonial and administrative center run by the Lima culture (400 AD), which
controlled the Lima Valley. There is evidence of religious ceremonies, rites and
sacrifices in honor of their deities, and possibly this was where the high
priests lived. The Pucllana Historical Park features an on-site museum and areas
of research, conservation and restoration, as well as cultural promotion.
