A pesar de su nombre se trata en realidad de un centro religioso construido por los chanés. Se encuentra junto a las ruinas de una ciudad construida por los incas durante su expansión hacia el sureste. En su momento los valles fueron invadidos por guerreros guaraníes, que destruyeron Samaipata y dominaron la región hasta la llegada de los españoles. En el templo también podemos encontrar ejemplos de arquitectura mozárabe, dejada como legado por los españoles. Esta confluencia de culturas hace que este yacimiento arqueológico sea único.
