Huaca Pucllana is a great adobe and clay pyramid preserved in central Lima. Built from seven staggered platforms, it served as an important ceremonial and administrative center for the Lima Culture, a society that developed along the Peruvian central coast between the years A.D. 200-700. A display at the Huaca recreates a ritual offering vessel.
