Teotihuacan, Mexico- World Heritage Site
Teotihuacan is an ancient Mesoamerican city located in a sub-valley of the Valley of Mexico, which is located in the State of Mexico, 40 kilometers northeast of modern-day Mexico City. Teotihuacan is known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas, namely Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon. At its zenith, perhaps in the first half of the first millennium (1 CE to 500 CE), Teotihuacan was the largest city in the Americas, with a population estimated at 125,000 or more, making it at least the sixth-largest city in the world during its epoch. The site covers a total surface area of 83 square kilometers and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
This photo was taken from the top of the Pyramid of the Moon and shows Plaza of the Pyramid of Moon(foreground), the Avenue of the Dead(the road running throughout) and the Pyramid of the Sun (the largest pyramid there) on the left top corner.
