Santa Cecilia Acatitlan, Archaeological site in Tlalnepantla de Baz, Mexico.

The pyramid structure reaches 8 meters in height and features a reconstructed temple at its summit, displaying architectural elements similar to Tenayuca.

Between 1180 and 1200 CE, Toltec-Chichimeca groups settled in the Guadalupe Mountains under Xolotl's leadership, establishing the settlement of Acatitlan.

The site museum exhibits original Mexica and Teotihuacan artifacts, along with Porfirian-era furniture in a preserved 1832 house building.

The archaeological zone opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with an entrance fee of 75 pesos for general admission.

The settlement's location near Lake Texcoco provided inhabitants access to aquatic resources and supported salt production as a primary economic activity.
