Steps away is the temple of the Moon (Luna), the moche political center where recently uncovered friezes of mystical images are believed to belong to a divinity of sacrifices. Continue to Chan Chan, the former capital of Chimu Empire. This Empire 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 in to nine 'citadels' or 'palaces' forming autonomous units.
