Metepec Municipality, Municipal district in State of Mexico, Mexico.
Metepec Municipality stretches across 70.43 square kilometers at an elevation of 2,635 meters, situated 7 kilometers west of Toluca and 50 kilometers from Mexico City.
The territory belonged to Otomi and Matlatzinca peoples until 1470, when Aztec chief Axayacatl conquered the region before Spanish colonization arrived in 1526.
The municipality maintains strong ceramics traditions, with local artisans creating intricate pottery pieces, including the symbolic Tree of Life sculptures.
The municipality contains multiple communities like Barrio Santiaguito and San Bartolomé Tlaltelulco, with 5,271 hectares dedicated to agricultural production.
The Ex-convento de San Juan from the 16th century stands as the principal religious structure, accompanied by the Capillas de El Calvario and La Santa Cruz.
