Chan Chan, the largest pre-Columbian city in South America, was officially discovered by the Spanish in the 16th century, although it had been known to the local population long before that. Archaeological work began in earnest in the late 19th century, with significant excavations conducted by researchers like Max Uhle starting in the early 1900s. The site, located near modern-day Trujillo, Peru, has since been recognized for its historical importance and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986.
