This was the first Zone of Historical Monuments to be declared in Mexico. It has a great pre-Hispanic tradition and is recognized for its unique historical center paved in obsidian. The town was said to hold the remains of Emperor Cuauhtémoc in the Church of Santa María Asunción. The customs of Ixcateopan represent a synthesis of the pre-Hispanic past, colonial culture and Mexican nationalism.
