Yucu Dzaa

Yucu Dzaa, or Tututepec, was a Mixtec city on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca. Both names meant Hill of the Bird. Mixtec codices attributed its founding in 1083 to Eight Deer Jaguar Claw.

Yucu Dzaa grew into the largest city in Oaxaca, with governors overseeing subject rulers, but Aztec forces later checked its northward expansion. In March 1522 Pedro de Alvarado captured the city and its ruler Coaxintecuhtli, who died in Spanish captivity.
