Copilco was an important Mesoamerican ceremonial center, southwest of Mexico City, Mexico. Copilco is located approximately four kilometers north of Cuicuilco. Both were covered by lava from several eruptions of the Xitle volcano three thousand years ago.
Cuicuilco
is an ancient settlement site in central Mexico, now located in southern Mexico
City
. Prominent in the late pre-Classic period, around 500 BCE, it is noted for its large circular
temple
mound, one of the earliest monumental structures in ancient Mesoamerica and influential on many later
pyramid
monuments built by the
Maya
and Aztecs amongst others. Buried in several metres of lava and abandoned Cuicuilco remains one of the most enigmatic early urban centres in the Americas.
