Otomí Ceremonial Center, Archaeological site in Temoaya, Mexico.

The Otomí Ceremonial Center stands on Cerro La Catedral mountain, featuring stone structures, monumental sculptures, plazas, and a museum dedicated to indigenous heritage.

Construction of this ceremonial complex began in 1988 following initiatives from Otomí elders and local ejidos who started planning the project in 1977.

The center holds monthly ceremonies on the second Sunday where rituals honor earth, air, fire, and water elements under guidance of the Otomí Supreme Council.

Located within the Otomí-Mexico State Park, the site includes camping facilities, hiking trails, and dormitories for athletes training at 3,000 meters above sea level.

The complex features twelve silos symbolizing Otomí generations, decorated with Tata Jiade sun sculptures and seven columns representing significant numerical values.
