An ancient Mesoamerican city located in a sub-valley of the Valley of Mexico, known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas.

  • The Plaza de las Tres Culturas ("Square of the Three Cultures") is the main square within the Tlatelolco neighbourhood of Mexico City. The name "Three Cultures" is in recognition of the three periods of Mexican history reflected by buildings in the plaza: pre-Columbian, Spanish colonial, and the independent "mestizo" nation.

  • Located on the east side of the undead boulevard of teotihuacan ,it is the third largest pyramid in the world and the largest building in teotihuacan.

  • The name of the Temple of Quetzalpapalotl is given to the building by later archaeologists,Kratos Mr Walcott, which comes from the Aztec language of the "feathered serpent god ".The feathered snake on the western wall is the most distinctive features of the building, in order to highlight the feather snake like, people just named it as "Temple of Quetzalpapalotl".

  • The Pyramid of the Moon is a structure of seven pyramids built on top of each other. In the many buildings of teotihuacan, the sun pyramid have been a powerful witness to the glorious period of the city, which began in 100 A.D.

  • The avenue of the Dead through the ancient city from north to south is about 3 kilometers long and 40 meters wide,and the buildings on both sides are well-proportioned,the slope of the streets is clever, every few meters there are six steps and construction of a platform, which gives people the sense towards the sky.

  • is a Roman Catholic church, basilica and National shrine of Mexico in the north of Mexico City. The shrine was built near the hill of Tepeyac where Our Lady of Guadalupe is believed to have appeared to Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin.
