Cholula

Cholula, a decayed town of the Mexican state of Puebla, stands nearly 7000 feet above sea-level, on the tableland of Anahuac, 55 miles ESE. of the city of Mexico. Cortes found in it 40,000 houses and 400 temples, including the great Teocalli (q.v.). Now the place only contains 9000 inhabitants. It was a great centre of the Aztec religion.
