Pirámide Mayor
Estructura
It is so far the tallest structure found in the current state of Michoacán.
North face: It stands on a large base of staggered bodies with four faces. Archaeological evidence suggests that in its upper part there was a temple built with perishable materials.
South face: It is also constituted by staggered bodies; a collapse in the southeast left exposed a stairway that corresponds to a substructure. Recent explorations have allowed its partial restoration.
East face: It is the least prominent face, by virtue of the fact that it adapts to the natural shape of the terrain on which it slumps.
West face: It is the best preserved face of the structure. It has six superimposed bodies and a stairway. Attached to this face is a plaza and to the north of it is located another base of smaller dimensions, known as Pyramid Minor, which has three bodies and a staircase. In its upper part there must have also been a temple of perishable materials.
