Brief Description:
Located in the state of Veracruz, the pre-Hispanic site of El Tajin was inhabited from the early 9th to the early 13th centuries and so dates from between the great empires of Teotihuacan and Mexico-Tenochtitlan. It is composed of a series of richly decorated public squares and pyramids, the best known of which is the so-called "Pyramid of the Niches". The well-preserved site, by virtue of its artistic and architectural importance, attests to the grandeur of the pre-Colombian cultures of Mexico.
