Mound of the Heroes: With its stuccoed stone façade, which reaches a height of almost four meters, it was located in front of the Market. During the excavations a layer of ash was detected on the surface of the mound, which indicates the existence of a structure or tower that could have served as communication with the watchtower of the Moctezuma hill. In its general architectural form it resembles a decapitated bird. Its name was awarded in a later historical stage, since in that mound were buried the revolutionary heroes fallen during the battle of Casas Grandes in 1914.
Mound of the Cross: It is a small cruciform promontory whose tops are small circular platforms with masonry finishes at its ends. Its location in the north end of the city allows the mound to have a preponderant point of view in the horizon. It is oriented to the north with a small deviation of eight degrees; it is probably directly related to key dates of the agricultural calendar.
