Teotihuacan, “The place where men become Gods”, is an archaeological zone 28 miles northeast of Mexico City. It’s located in Mexico State, between San Juan Teotihuacan and San Martin de las Piramides.
It is the main street of the city. It begins at the Pyramid of the Moon and follows south to La Ciudadela (Citadel). Its length is about 1.2 miles.
It is located in the southernmost part of the archaeological zone. This big foursquare, that measures 437 yards on each side, was a huge square in which public ceremonies were probably held.
It is Teotihuacan’s biggest structure. Each side measures 738 feet approximately and it reaches 213 feet in height. It was built in one stage during the Tzacualli Era (1-150 AD)
It is the second biggest building in Teotihuacan. It was built in seven stages between 100 and 400 AD. Its height is more than 147 feet and its base is 459 by 492 yards.
It is considered the most sumptuous palace in Teotihuacan. It is located southeast of the Pyramid of the Moon. Its name means Butterfly – Quetzal, or Feathered Butterfly, in Nahuatl. It is believed that it was the home of the highest Teotihuacan priests.
It is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in Mexico’s Pre-Hispanic era, due to its opulent and complex decorations. It was built during the Micaotli era (150 – 200 AD).
