Xochitecatl
Xochitecatl submitted by SolarMegalith : Pyramid of the Flowers - view from the road to Cacaxtla (photo taken on March 2004). (Vote or comment on this photo)
The pre-classic period ceremonial centre consisting of several pyramids - the biggest one is called The Pyramid of Flowers and it measures 140 x 100 m. Inside the pyramid skeletons of 30 children together with offerings were found, as well as clay figurines and sculptures.

The spiral building is a smaller, round-shaped pyramid build around 700 year BC. There's a stairway leading to it's top, and inside the pyramid two burials were found.

The other two constructions are The Serpent Building and Platform of the Volcanoes. The whole site is located on the top of the mountain and it's perfectly visible from distance, espacially from the route to Cacaxtla.
