Nariguala

Narihualá was a major settlement of the Tallán people in the Piura valley. Its most prominent remains are monumental adobe platforms, built with mud mortar and rising above the surrounding plain. The complex bears witness to the political and ceremonial life of the valley before the Spanish conquest. Its earth-built architecture belongs to a wider coastal tradition in which large platforms and enclosed spaces formed the centres of settlements.

The later city of Piura lies here.
