Chan Chan covers an area of approximately 20 km², and had a dense urban center of about 6km².
It was the imperialcapital of the Chimor until it was conquered in the 15th century. It is estimated that around thirty thousand people lived in the city of Chan Chan.
The city is composed of ten walled citadels whichhoused ceremonial rooms, burial chambers, temples, reservoirs and some residences. Chan Chan is a triangular city surrounded by walls 50-60 feet high. A distinguishable aspect of Chan Chan is that thereare no enclosures which open to the north. The tallest walls shelter against south-westerly winds from Peru's coast. Northern-facing walls gain the greatest exposure to the sun, serving both to blockthe wind and absorb sunlight where fog is frequent. The numerous walls throughout the city create interesting labyrinths of passages.
The original name of the city is not known, and the name ChanChan referred to whole city.
