El Tajin, Pre-Hispanic City
Located in the state of Veracruz, Tajin reached its peak between the early 9th and early 13th centuries. After the fall of the Teotihuacan Empire, Tajin became the most important center in northeastern Mesoamerica. Its cultural influence spread throughout the Gulf Coast and into the Maya region and the highlands of central Mexico. Its architectural style is unique in Mesoamerica, with elaborate relief carvings on columns and friezes. The "pyramids of niches" are masterpieces of ancient Mexican and American architecture, showing astronomical and symbolic significance of the buildings. Tajin has survived as an outstanding example of the grandeur and importance of pre-Hispanic culture in Mexico.
