The temples form an archaeological complex that covered an extensive urban area, 5 kilometers south of modern-day Trujillo. This archaeological complex is composed of two pyramids that represent the Moche culture (from the 1st to 9th Century AD \u2014 Intermediate Period). Constructed from adobe, the temples are famous for extremely well preserved murals and colorful bas-relief carvings, combining depictions of animals and mythical creatures and deities, framed by intricate geometric borders. The Temple of the Sun reaches a height of 43 meters. The Temple of the Moon is smaller at 21 meters high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
