notes:
Cholula, an Aztec [or Toltec] city devoted to the worship of Quetzalcoatl, is in present-day Pueblo, Mexico. Many of the pre-Columbian temples and pyramids were destroyed to build churches. The church of Nuestra Senora de los Remedios was built on the largest pyramid, the pyramid of Tipanipa. In the distance is the volcano of Orizaba or Popocatepetl. Image placed horizontally on page.
