Iglesia Vieja Archaeological Zone

Iglesia Vieja Archaeological Zone

22 de septiembre de 2016 wDestinos México

The Archaeological Zone of Iglesia Vieja is located in the foothills of the Sierra Madre. Currently under study and still difficult to access, this archaeological zone promises fascinating revelations about the pre-Hispanic past of the coast. It is a large complex that includes pyramid foundations, long stone walls, sculptures and carved stelae. It is located north of the city of Tonalá, 6 kilometers away along a secondary road. It still does not have basic infrastructure, but a visit offers, in addition to the archaeological interest, the possibility of observing the mountain nature.

 It is one of the largest archaeological sites on the coast, and its constructions are megaliths, approximately 1800 years old, from a culture that is probably Mixe-Zoque or Tonalteco. The area is made up of several sectors, among which are the main plaza, the altar of the four faces, the altar of the sapodrilo and the ceremonial center. This last one is located at the highest part of the hill, with a surface area of more than 300 m2.
