From SolarMegalith:
Cuicuilco flourished in the preclassic period, becaming one of the most important urban centres of this area, in it’s heyday having the population not lesser than Teotihuacan. The eruption of the Xitle volcano seriously damaged Cuicuilco, giving Teotihuacan a chance to become the major centre of the region.
The most significant and best preserved construction in Cuicuilco is a ring pyramid constructed in the 8th – 6th century BCE. Near the site there’s also a small archaeological exhibition.
