Sicán (Batán Grande) – Pómac
Comprising 20 mud pyramids distributed in an area of 46km2, Sicán was found inside the grounds of the hacienda Batán Grande. It takes a range of exotically named buildings: the Botija and Colorada tombs, Engineer’s kiln, Loro Tomb, La Merced, El Santillo, the Bees, the Window, Rodillona, the Look, Cholope, Arena, and Court, among others. It is believed the complex was a center for the development of the Lambayeque or Sicán culture (Sicán meaning “house or temple of the moon” in the Moche language).
