Its extension is 290 m. by 210 m. The excavation has been concentrated in the main platform which has an area of 90 m. on each side and 20 m. height. Six superposed temples have been discovered, they were built in about 600 years. Each temple was used for about 100 years, after that, the temple was covered with blocks of adobe to build a new one above it. Probably, this custom was associated with a ceremonial calendar. Inside the temples the Moche opened funerary chambers for the burials of priests.
