Ferreñafe (Colonial mochica: Firruñap) is a town in Northern Peru, capital of the province Ferreñafe in the region Lambayeque.
==Overview== Ferreñafe was founded on December 13, 1550, by captain Alonso de Osorio. Before the arrival of the Spanish, an early civilization lived in the area, The Sican. The Sican culture existed long before the Incas, and adopted themselves to the geography of Ferreñafe. The Sican built pyramids and buried their family lineage in forms that attract scholars from different fields of study. Sican National Museum is the main centre of interpretation to understand the culture, philosophy, architecture, life style, and hierarchy structure of the Sican.
