Huaca de la Luna - between those walls<br> La libertad picture - Once inside the moon temple we saw intricate and colorful friezes from various Moche periods. The Moche practiced "redecorating" by filling in and covering up old walls, then building a new adobe wall to decorate. I enjoyed being able to see the variety of artistic styles and symbolism presented from various time frames. The way the site has been excavated it is possible to make several side-by-side comparisons.
