A pre-Columbian archaeological site in the state of Puebla, Mexico, dating from at least the 2nd century BC, with village-like settlements dating to at least several thousand years earlier. Located on the western outskirts of Puebla, the capital of Puebla. Known for the Great Pyramid (Trachiuartepetl), it was a pilgrimage site for Quetzalcoatl worship in the postclassic period, but there are many unknown points about its actual existence. It once served as a trading post. It is one of the oldest settlements in Mexico, and presents a continuous occupation since the upper preclassic period. Despite this, its importance in Mesoamerica varied throughout the two thousand year history of the native civilization of Central America.
