366 PE - Chan Chan Archaeological Zone (1986)

Brief Description

"The Chimu Kingdom, with Chan Chan as its capital, reached its apogee in the 15th century, not long before falling to the Incas. The planning of this huge city, the largest in pre-Columbian America, reflects a strict political and social strategy, marked by the city's division into nine 'citadels' or 'palaces' forming autonomous units."

昌昌城考古地区

"昌昌城是奇穆王国的首都，15世纪是该国的鼎盛时期，但是不久即被印加帝国吞没。这个古拉丁美洲最大城市的规划，反映了其严格的政治和社会政策，城市划分为九个“城堡”或者“宫殿”，都是独立的单位。"
