Huaca Palomino, Archaeological site in Lima District, Peru.
The rectangular structure of Huaca Palomino rises from the ground with earthen walls and features two main courtyards connected by restricted corridors.
Constructed between 900 CE and 1476 CE, this pre-Columbian site belonged to the Ychsma culture before experiencing Inca occupation and early Spanish colonial influence.
The architectural layout includes elevated platforms, interior patios, and hierarchical benches that indicate its function as a civil-administrative center for the Maranga lordship.
Located near block 27 of Venezuela Avenue in the Palomino urbanization, the site spans 24,940 square meters and offers guided tours for visitors.
Archaeological excavations between 2012 and 2013 revealed three distinct occupational periods, including evidence of wooden posts from the Colonial-Republican era.
