Teotihuacan, located near Mexico City, Mexico, is an ancient Mesoamerican city renowned for its architectural grandeur and historical significance. Established around 100 BCE, it became one of the largest cities in the pre-Columbian Americas, reaching its zenith between the 4th and 7th centuries CE. The city is famous for its massive pyramids, particularly the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon, which dominate the central Avenue of the Dead. Teotihuacan was a major cultural and economic hub, with a complex urban layout that included residential compounds, temples, and vibrant murals. The city's origins, rise to prominence, and eventual decline remain subjects of scholarly interest and archaeological investigation.
