Long Walls
Nearby ruins include the Chimu adobe city of Chan Chan, the world's largest city built from that material. It is sometimes called "Ciudad de la Luna" (City of the Moon) because the people worshipped the moon; or "de las Largas Murallas" (of the Long Walls). In size and complexity, it has been compared with Teotihuacan in Mexico, and the ancient cities of Egypt. Other nearby ruins are the Moche ruins of "Huaca del Sol", "Huaca de la Luna", "Huaca del Dragón o Arco Iris", "Huaca Esmeralda" and "El Brujo".
