Archaeological site of Mixcoac, Archaeological site in San Pedro de los Pinos, Mexico City, Mexico.

The archaeological complex includes a central patio, ceremonial plaza, and a pyramid dedicated to Mixcóatl near the Anillo Periférico ring road.

The site was inhabited from 400 AD during the Teotihuacan period through the Aztec occupation until the Spanish conquest in 1521.

The name Mixcoac derives from Náhuatl language meaning place of the cloud snake, reflecting the connection to the deity of hunting Mixcóatl.

The National Institute of Anthropology and History maintains the site, which opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission.

An interpretative hall beneath the Periférico highway contains an authentic Aztec adobe structure that experiences vibrations from passing vehicles.
