Huejotla

Huexotla or Huexotla is an archaeological site located 5 kilometers south of Texcoco, at the town of San Luis Huexotla, close to Chapingo, in the state of Mexico. Huexotla was one of the most important Acolhua cities, alongside Tetzcoco and Coatlinchan. Its development began in the 13th century.

Although few buildings remain in Huexotla, it was a very large city that extended well beyond the perimeter wall, in fact, the only known structure of its kind in the region from the late postclassical. It is believed that the center of Huexotla once existed at the place where the Franciscan convent and the Church of St. Louis were built. Around 1960 the site was explored by Eduardo Pareyón Moreno.
