Teteles de Santo Nombre

Teteles de Santo Nombre is an ancient town in Puebla, Mexico, occupied for over a millennium from 400 BC to 600 AD[1]. The site features two restored pyramidal structures standing 7 and 14 metres tall, exhibiting architectural similarities to the Teotihuacan civilization[1]. These pyramids, named Piramide de los Caracoles (Shells Pyramid) and Piramide de los Cascabeles (Rattles Pyramid), were restored and consolidated as part of archaeological work at the site[1].
