Huaca Huallamarca

Huaca Huallamarca, formerly called "Pan de Azucar," is a truncated stepped adobe pyramid in the San Isidro district of Lima, Peru, originally measuring 125 meters long by 76 meters wide. Built around 200 BC by settlers of the Pinazo cultural tradition, it initially served as a ceremonial and administrative temple before transitioning to a cemetery around 300 AD. Excavations in 1958 by Arturo Jimenez Borja uncovered 48 funerary bundles from the Lima, Huaura, Sican, Chincha, and Ychsma cultures. The site museum, inaugurated in 1960, was one of Peru's first site museums.
