Cholula

The Great Pyramid of Cholula features multiple construction layers and extends across a vast area with numerous religious structures and ceremonial platforms.

The site witnessed continuous occupation from the Pre-Classic period until the Spanish arrival in 1519, serving as a major religious center in Mesoamerica.

The archaeological complex includes platforms, altars, and ceremonial spaces where indigenous populations conducted rituals and trade activities throughout centuries.

Visitors can explore 800 meters of underground tunnels within the pyramid structure, accessing different sections through the northern entrance.

The Nuestra Señora de los Remedios church stands at the summit of the pyramid, creating a fusion between pre-Hispanic and colonial architectural elements.
