    It is the third largest building in Teotihuacan, an ancient Mesoamerican city whose ruins are located in Mexico. The building consists of seven sections of sloped-tablero and part of its western façade was decorated at the beginning of the 3rd century with sculptures representing the Feathered Serpent, one of the oldest and most important deities of the Mesoamerican peoples, later called Quetzalcoatl.

    The Pyramid of the Sun was used primarily for ceremonial and religious purposes. It is believed that it was used to carry out rituals related to the sun, rain, and fertility, as these elements were fundamental to the worldview of the Teotihuacan culture. In addition, its location in the center of the city and its imposing presence made it a focal point for the community, where important ceremonies and events were celebrated. It is one of the most emblematic structures of the pre-Columbian civilization in Mesoamerica. This pyramid is the largest in Teotihuacan and one of the largest in Mesoamerica, reflecting the importance of this civilization at its time.

    The Pyramid of the Moon marks the northern limit of the Causeway of the Dead, which gives it a high symbolic meaning, and is the most notable element of one of the most harmonious urban spaces in the city, the so-called Plaza de la Luna. This large space, which is surrounded by 13 foundations with typical Teotihuacan architectural features and which were once completely painted, was an unbeatable setting for public rituals. At the foot of the pyramid is Structure A, framed by two foundations, inside which there are nine altars arranged on the walls plus one in the center, which symbolize the cardinal and intercardinal points and the center of the universe.
