Cacaxtla, Archaeological site in Tlaxcala, Mexico
The archaeological complex includes a palace with numerous chambers, platforms, courtyards, and staircases spread across multiple levels of construction.
The settlement reached its peak between 650 and 900 CE when the Olmeca-Xicalanca people controlled significant trade routes through central Mexico.
The site contains exceptional Pre-Hispanic murals that merge indigenous central Mexican artistic elements with Maya painting techniques and iconography.
The archaeological zone operates daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with an entrance fee of 75 pesos that includes access to museums in the area.
The Battle Mural extends for 26 meters along the northern plaza, depicting armed confrontations between distinct ethnic groups with remarkable color preservation.
