Itinerary
Zona Arqueologica de Monte Alban
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedMonte Albán is the large urban center built by Zapotec culture. It is the most important archaeological area of the State of Oaxaca. Part of the LIST of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this will be our first stop. In Monte Albán the Teotihuacana influence is appreciated in its architecture, ceramics and mural painting among other aspects. At the end of the Early Classic the link with Teotihuacán is broken and the Zapotec territorial political organization reaches the highest level of development but also of social inequality (González Licón 2011). For the Postclassic the power of Mount Albán as a hegemonic city was totally lost, and the cities of the central valleys are influenced by the advent of the Mixtec groups. Monte Albán is no exception, with this influence appreciated in the famous tomb 7 discovered by Alfonso Caso in 1932.Arrazola
