Pakatnamu is an imposing ceremonial, political, administrative and ceremonial center from the Chimu kingdom in the Jequetepeque river valley. It includes more than 50 truncated pyramids and connected residences. The complex also features corridors and plazas, and in other sections, murals with painted relief carvings. Three large walls or ramparts protect the north, south and other sectors of the cemetery, where important textile pieces have been recovered.
