Tizatlán, Archaeological site in Tlaxcala, Mexico.
The archaeological site contains ancient stone structures and ceremonial platforms that demonstrate pre-Hispanic architectural techniques from central Mexico.
Tizatlan served as a military power center within the Tlaxcallan confederation during the pre-Columbian period under the leadership of Xicotencatl I.
The site name originates from Nahuatl language elements tizatl and tlan, reflecting the indigenous linguistic heritage of the region.
Visitors can access the archaeological remains in the San Esteban district of Tlaxcala city, where informational panels explain the site layout.
The excavated structures reveal evidence of chalk deposits that influenced the settlement's original name and its role in regional trade networks.
