History
The site dates to the Intermediate period and continued in use through the Inca era, later covered by Spanish colonial structures. During the Republican phase, additional buildings were constructed atop the pre-Hispanic foundations.

The site takes its name from a Republican-era house that once stood atop its ruins. Visitors can observe today how different periods of Peruvian history are layered at this location.
