Cuauhtochco

Cuauhtochco stood on the northern bank of the Atoyac River, near the later settlement of Santiago Huatusco. A Nahuatl-speaking capital and probably an Aztec garrison, it commanded a fortified site whose walls enclosed pyramidal platforms. The old province retained its name after the Spanish conquest: in the sixteenth century, San Antonio Otlaquiquiztla was counted among its towns.
