These ancient structures were built by the Moche civilization between 100 and 800 AD. The Huaca del Sol is the larger of the two, primarily serving as a ceremonial center, while the Huaca de la Luna features intricate murals and was likely used for religious rituals. Excavations at these sites have revealed a wealth of artifacts, including pottery, textiles, and human remains, providing insight into the social and cultural practices of the Moche people. The sites are now important for both archaeological research and tourism, highlighting the rich history of pre-Columbian civilizations in Peru.
