Teopanzolco, Aztec ceremonial complex in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

The archaeological site contains pyramids, temples, and stone structures arranged around two main ceremonial plazas at different elevation levels.

The Tlahuica people constructed this religious center during the Late Postclassic period, which later became part of the Aztec Empire through warfare and marriage alliances.

The central temple features twin staircases leading to separate shrines dedicated to Tlaloc, the rain deity, and Huitzilopochtli, the sun and war god.

The archaeological zone opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours explaining the architectural features and religious practices of pre-Hispanic civilizations.

Located within modern Cuernavaca city limits, this archaeological site maintains its original stone structures despite the surrounding urban development.
