Huaca Bellavista, Archaeological site in Santa Anita, Peru.
The pre-Columbian structure rises 12 meters above ground with dimensions of 90 by 60 meters on the left bank of the Rímac River.
The site originated with the Ychsma culture between 1000 and 1532 CE, followed by Inca occupation and subsequent use as a burial ground.
Archaeological excavations have revealed multiple burial layers containing remains from indigenous populations, Spanish colonists, and Chinese immigrant workers.
The Ministry of Culture of Peru and Santa Anita Municipality maintain the site, offering guided tours to examine ancient construction techniques.
The structure contains evidence of violent conflicts during Spanish conquest, with discovered remains showing impacts from both European firearms and Andean weapons.
