Historic Centre of Oaxaca and Archaeological Site of Monte Albán

🎧 Listen to Introduction
Inhabited for 1,500 years by a variety of peoples, including the Olmecs, Zapotecs and Mixtecs, Monte Alban’s terraces, dams, canals, pyramids and artificial mounds were carved out of the mountain as a symbol of sacred topography. The nearby city of Oaxaca, laid out on a grid, is a prime example of town planning during the Spanish colonial period. The solidity and volume of the city’s buildings suggest they were adapted to the earthquake-prone region where these architectural gems were built.
