Piramide de Teopanzolco

Teopanzolco is an archaeological temple site in Cuernavaca that dates to the late Postclassic period and sits amid modern residential and industrial areas. In Nahuatl, the name means "at the place of the old temple." The complex is arranged around a long, rectangular plaza, with the main pyramid rising on its east side. It consists of two nested building phases, and the older, excavated structure includes two temples standing side by side. These are attributed to Tlaloc, the rain god, and Huitzilopochtli, the tribal patron god. You can explore the reconstructed temples, the double staircases with steep balustrades, and the surrounding platforms and other structures, which strikingly convey the site's former sacred character.
