  • Zaña (anche Saña) è la capitale del distretto di Saña nella provincia di Chiclayo, nella regione di Lambayeque, situata nella zona settentrionale del Perù. Si trova a venticinque chilometri nell'entroterra dalla linea dell'Oceano Pacifico e a un'altitudine di cinquantotto metri sul livello del mare, nella valle del fiume omonimo. Zaña aveva una popolazione registrata di 4.510 abitanti nel 2017. La città fu fondata nel 1563 dai conquistatori spagnoli del Perù. La Valle di Zaña divenne un'importante area di produzione di canna da zucchero e Zaña era una delle città più importanti del Perù coloniale. La ricchezza accumulata nella città vi attirò i pirati inglesi, che la depredarono nel 1686. Un'alluvione distrusse l'insediamento nel 1720, e in seguito a quel catastrofico evento, la città non riuscì più a ripristinare la precedente vivacità sociale ed economica. Le rovine dell'alluvione sono visibili alla periferia della città. Gli schiavi africani importati in loco come forza lavoro costituivano una percentuale importante della popolazione della città e dei suoi dintorni durante il suo periodo di massimo splendore. Zaña ospita il Museo afro-peruviano che nel 2017 venne dichiarato dall'UNESCO Sito della Memoria della Schiavitù e Patrimonio Culturale Africano. (it)
