Probably one of the interesting and important sites within the Pachacamac Archaeology site is the Acllawasi or Mamacona.
"The Mamacona was built by the Inca for women dedicated to the cult of the sun god and for the production of fine goods for the temple complex.
The buildling is comprised of three sectors: large structures with galleries and staircases, precincts between them, and large open patios. The trapezoidal riches within and around various rooms as well as the decorated "ashlars" and windows, are all characteristic of typical Inca architecture.
Within the complex researchers fouond several ponds that probably had a ceremonial function." - Pachacamac Archaeological Site sign
