Chan Chan
A frieze of animals thought to be sea otters surrounds the huge main square in the Tschudi Palace in the adobe city of Chan Chan, capital of the Chimu culture, now near the city of Trujillo. Chan Chan was the largest adobe city in the world and at its peak covered over 20km², including 9 main palaces and many other constructions. The Chimu were the main power in the north of what is now Peru roughly when the Incas were expanding in the Cusco region; they were eventually defeated by the Incas and absorbed into their empire around 1471 after a period of warfare.
