The Cholula Mesoamerican site is a vast archaeological zone dominated by the Great Pyramid of Cholula (Tlachihualtepetl), which is the largest pyramid ever built by volume. The site includes multiple construction phases, with tunnels open to visitors that reveal earlier layers. Above the pyramid sits the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, a colonial church. Visitors can explore the surrounding plazas, altars, and residential complexes, gaining insight into the city's pre-Hispanic importance as a religious and trade center.
