important center of the Mexican highlands
after the fall of Teotihuacan was Cholula,
near the twin volcanic peaks Iztaccihuatl and
Popocatepetl and the city of Puebla.
The Great Pyramid there, dedicated to
Quetzalcoatl, is the largest single structure
in the New World. Towering 181 feet high
and covering an area of some 25 acres, the
pyramid was begun in Pre-Classic times and
enlarged four times. Seen from
a distance today, it appears to be a large
hill with a Colonial church resting at its summit.
