Xochicalco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a testament to the cultural melting pot of Mesoamerica. Flourishing after the fall of Teotihuacan, this site showcases a blend of architectural and artistic styles, reflecting influences from various civilizations such as Teotihuacan, the Maya, and the Matlatzinca. The strategic location of Xochicalco played a pivotal role in trade, which may have contributed to its diverse cultural influences and its development into a significant urban center during the Epiclassic period.
