Monte Albán Archeological Site Visit
Monte Albán was one of the most important cities in Mesoamerica. It was founded in 500 BC on a mountaintop in the central Central Valleys of Oaxaca and served as the capital of the Zapotecs from the beginning of our era until 800 AD. At its peak, Monte Albán had nearly 35,000 inhabitants, most of whom lived on the mountain's terraced slopes, dedicating themselves to agriculture.
The archaeological zone of Monte Albán was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, along with the Historic Center of Oaxaca City, on December 11, 1987.
