Zona Arqueológica Teopanzolco

Teopanzolco is an Aztec archaeological site in the Mexican state of Morelos [1]. Most of the visible remains date from the Middle to Late Postclassic Period [1]. Teopanzolco was built upon a hill formed from a lava flow [1]. The prehispanic history of Teopanzolco was brought to a close by the Spanish Conquest in 1521 [1]. Only the ceremonial centre of Teopanzolco has been preserved [1]. Although the site had been developed by both the Tlahuicas and the Aztecs, the dominant architectural style and the majority of the excavated ceramics are Aztec in origin [1].
