This ancient sacred site of the Teotihuacán ruins, constructed in the period of 300AD, was built on geometric and symbolic principles with the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon being the most monumental structures. The size of Teotihuacán is said to be larger than the ancient Rome city.
