Monte Alban site - a photo on Flickriver

Monte Alban site

            The city of Monte Alban was the capital of the Zapotecs. It was founded in the 5th century BC, and at its peak towards the 5th century AD, it had about 30,000 inhabitants.
It was then occupied by the Mixtecs in the 12th century, until the arrival of the conquistadors in the 16th century.

The site, built on top of a plateau overlooking the surrounding valleys, is spectacular.
