Calixtlahuaca

Calixtlahuaca (from the Nahuatl, where calli means "building", and ixtlahuatl means "prairie" or "plains", hence the translation would be "buildings on the plains"; Otomi: Ndähni, windy town, original Matlatzinca name: Pintanbati) is a Postclassic period Mesoamerican archaeological site, located near the present-day city of Toluca in the State of Mexico. Known originally as Pintanbati and later "Matlatzinco", this urban settlement was a powerful capital whose kings controlled a large territory in the Toluca Valley.
