La Campana, also designated Structure 5, is the largest pyramid at the San Andrés site in the Zapotitán Valley of central El Salvador. The pyramid was built between approximately 600 and 900 CE during the Late Classic, of adobe brick over an earlier earth-fill core, rising about 7 metres in stepped platforms. San Andrés served as a regional centre for the surrounding Maya population after the catastrophic eruption of the Ilopango volcano around 535 CE depopulated much of central El Salvador for two centuries. The site was reoccupied during the Late Classic and built up in this period. La Campana takes its colonial-era name ("The Bell") from the resonant sound of the adobe core when struck. Excavations by Stanley Boggs and INAH in the 1970s and 1990s established the construction sequence.

La Campana is a pyramid built on land that had been buried by volcanic ash within living memory of its builders' grandparents.
