LOOKING FOR THE LEGACY FAR FROM THE ASPHALT Lima is characterized by having huacas inside the city. MATEO SALADO, A JEWEL IN THE CITY Pedro Espinoza Pajuelo / Complejo Arqueológico Mateo Salado The Mateo Salado archaeological complex is located at the heart of Lima, between Breña and Pueblo Libre districts. Its constructions made of ‘tapia’ (rammed earth), emerge among the high-rise buildings, creating a unique landscape where history coexists with modernity. Mateo Salado was an administrative-ceremonial center that belonged to the Ychsma Lordship which, the same as Huaycan de Cieneguilla, was reoccupied when the Incas annexed it to the empire. The complex has five walled pyramids. The Longitudinal Coastal Highway of the Qhapaq Ñan came from the north, just beside pyramid A, which was used as main temple of the complex. The 18-m high pyramids were also used as houses for the Ychsma and Inca elites. With the arrival of the Spaniards to Lima, the place was plundered, began to deteriorate and its area was reduced with the emergence of farmlands, companies and squatters. This process of neglect ended in 2000, when researchers started to recover Mateo Salado and it was listed as a National Cultural Heritage Site in the following year. In 2007, the Ministry of Culture started to work on its enhancement, and the National Office of the Qhapaq Ñan implemented a new comprehensive project focused on the area in 2016. This project is concerned with working on the huaca, recovering it and bringing it closer to the neighbors as a space to be publicly used. Mateo Salado, together with the Larco Museum located a few blocks away in Pueblo Libre district, is one of the most important tourist attractions of the city of Lima. 58
