Archaeological site built in the end of the intermediate era, around 600AD, during the period when the Lima culture dominated the valley. Cajmarquilla is considered the second largest mud brick city on the central coast, after Pachacámac, as it covers 167 hectares. Its importance as a political urban center grew over the centuries. From 1100AD (the Late Intermediate period) it started to acquire the configuration that it retains to this day.
