PIRÁMIDE DEL SOL
Pyramid of the Sun, one of the oldest buildings on the site and by far the most imposing in Teotihuacan
The Pyramid of the Sun is astronomically aligned so that it faces the sun exactly on the summer solstice. It is one of the oldest buildings on the site, and by far the most imposing: composed of five staggered bodies, it rests on a base of 220 m by 225 m, reaches a height of 64 m, and contains one millionm3 of bricks. At the beginning of the 20th century, experts restored the pyramid by removing a 7 m thick layer of stones and stucco. It is estimated that the construction of the pyramid dates back to 200 BC.
