ZONA ARQUEOLÓGICA DE IGLESIA VIEJA
Originally, the site, at its peak, was built on 3 elevations (700 m) and included over 80 perennial structures distributed in 5 architectural groups; Two are visiting today, for a total of about ten buildings that have been noticed gradually. The main feature of the city, unique throughout Mesoamerica, is its megalithic aspect: granite blocks of more than two tonnes (3 metres side) were cut and used to build the buildings. The city was going to be occupied since 600 BC until 900 Apr. The largest construction period between 250 and 600. It is assumed that the site then functioned as the capital of Des for the area of the Isthmus (from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific), as an intermediate zone between the Zapotecs and the Mixtèques of Oaxaca and the Maya established more south.
