Ancient Temple in Piura Provence, Peru.
Described as the capital of the Tallán culture (Late Intermediate, 700 AD - 1400 AD.) Narihualá is considered the most important architectural monument in Piura, and is thought to have served as a religious sanctuary.
The main structure is divided into four sections, three of which have been completely excavated.
The adobe buildings reach a maximum height of 40 meters and the site occupies an area of 6 hectares.
