Teayotlan

Teayotlan was a centre of the Gulf coast region, remembered in the place glyphs of the Lienzos de Tuxpan. Its great pyramidal platform, later called the Castillo de Teayo, carries a temple above three stepped bodies. The architecture combines Huastec and Mexica traditions, while its sculptures show wider influences from the Maya and Toltec worlds. The site reflects the meeting of peoples and artistic traditions on the northern Veracruz coast.
