Cacaxtla was one of the main cities of Olmeca-Xicalanca culture, origins of which are connected with areas of current Veracruz. The most important preserved structure is Gran Basamento, in which famous paintings are preserved. The best preserved among them is Mural de la batalla, dated for 8th century AC.
Currently the excavations are protected with a roof, there is also a small museum next to the site. The footpath from Cacaxtla leads to the ruins of ceremonial complex in Xochitecatl.
