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.
