Santa María Tepepan, Colonial district in Xochimilco, Mexico City
Located on the southern edge of Mexico City, Santa María Tepepan features narrow cobblestone streets winding through traditional Mexican architecture and residential areas.
The church of Santa María de la Visitación, constructed in the seventeenth century and rebuilt in the nineteenth, stands on a site where a pre-Hispanic shrine to Tonantzin existed.
The name Tepepan derives from Nahuatl words Tepetl and Ipan, meaning 'On top of the hill', reflecting the indigenous heritage of this Mexico City district.
Santa María Tepepan contains 220 commercial establishments and covers 110 hectares, with a population density of 612 inhabitants per square kilometer.
Archaeological findings in the area include ancient household items made from tezontle stone and a notable basalt statue of the Aztec deity Xipe Totec.
