Tzintzuntzan Archeological Zone
Ihuatzio Archeological Zone "The place of the Coyote" 7/06/2007
"The “Plaza de Armas” is a huge, rectangular, graded area bordered on the north and south ends by structures called wall causeways which were used as roads. Ceremonial activities, rituals, and festivities were celebrated in the different parts of this square. Yet there is the possibility that some economic activities, such as marketing and exchange of goods, were also carried out here. It is even believed that it was sometimes used as a ball court playing field, as well". Description by INAH / Recited by Santiago Andres Garcia
