The [[Wari culture|Wari]] ({{lang-es|Huari}}) were a [[Periodization of pre-Columbian Peru|Middle Horizon]] civilization that flourished in the south-central [[Andes]] and coastal area of Peru, from about CE 500 to 1000. (The Wari culture is not to be confused with the modern [[ethnic]] group and language known as ''[[Wari']]'', with which it has no known link.) [[Wari ruins|Wari]], as the former capital city was called, is located {{convert|11|km|mi|abbr=on}} north-east of the city of [[Ayacucho]]. This city was the center of a civilization that covered much of the highlands and coast of Peru. The best-preserved remnants, beside the [[Wari ruins|Wari Ruins]], are the recently discovered [[Northern Wari ruins]] near the city of [[Chiclayo, Peru|Chiclayo]], and Cerro Baul in [[Moquegua]]. Also well-known are the Wari ruins of ''Pikillaqta'' ("Flea Town"), a short distance south-east of [[Cuzco]] ''en route'' to [[Lake Titicaca]].
