Cholula
Cholula face parte din istoria însângerata a
Mexicului, fiind celebra si datorita macelului
de la Cholula. În anul 1519 Hernan Cortés intra
în oras si le da o lectie locuitorilor, ucigând
în numai doua ore mai mult de 3.000 de localnici
de oarece luptasera împotriva lui. La Cholula a
existat cea mai mare piramida din lume, piramida
Tepanapa, construita în cinstea lui Quetzalcoatl,
sarpele cu pene de quetzal. Ea a fost ridicata în
mai multe etape, pâna la anul 800 d.C. A fost
distrusa aproape în totalitate de spaniolii care
au construit în anul 1666 cu pietrele ei,
deasupra, biserica Nostra Señora de los Remedios.
Cholula is best known for its Great Pyramid, with
the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los
Remedios sanctuary on top, as well as its
numerous churches. The city is located on the
flat plains of the Valley of Puebla,
with Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl visible to the
west. Like the city of Puebla, it has a straight
street grid oriented to the cardinal directions.
According to myth, the pyramid was built by a
giant named Xelhua of adobe bricks, after he
escaped a flood in the neighboring Valley of
Mexico. The pyramid was a place of pilgrimage in
the pre Hispanic period, and it is a place of
pilgrimage today, to visit an image known as the
Virgin of the Remedies, especially in September.
Despite five centuries of change and growth since
the Conquest, modem Cholultecans maintain many
traditional practices, which exist within a vital
fabric of local religious and cultural life.

By the time the Spanish arrived, Cholula was a
major religious and mercantile center, with the
Quetzalcoatl Temple one of the most important
pilgrimage sites in the central Mexican
highlands. Hernán Cortés estimated that the city
had 430 temples and about 20,000 homes in the
center of the city with another 20,000 on the
periphery. Cortés was attracted to the
pastureland of the valley area, but while there
was a great deal of irrigated farms, the city had
a population of about 100,000 and overpopulation
meant that many poor people often lacked
food. Cortés had arrived to Cholula after the
Spanish victory of the Tlaxcalans, and he was
supposed to meet Moctezuma II here. Since Cholula
was allied with the Aztecs, the Spanish and their
new Tlaxcalan allies were suspicious of this
arrangement. There are two accounts of what
happened next. Spanish accounts tell of Cortés
being warned through La Malinche of a plot to
attack the Spanish. Cortés called the leaders of
the city to the central square of the city where
the Spanish were with their weapons. On signal,
the Spanish charged and killed as many as six
thousand Chololtecs. However, the Aztec record
states that the Spanish attack was unprovoked and
there was no plot against them. The event is
called the Cholula Massacre, and it resulted in
many deaths and destruction of much of the
city. However, unlike many other pre-Hispanic
cities, which were abandoned or destroyed before
or immediately after the Conquest, Cholula has
remained to this day. Nearby in the same valley
the Spanish built the city of Puebla, which grew
to prominence rapidly. Between this and an
epidemic, which claimed much of its indigenous
population, Cholula never recovered its former
importance. The area was first divided
into encomiendas, such as that of Andrés de
Tapia who held the San Andrés portion. In 1531,
the entire city became a "corregimiento" or area
under direct control of the Spanish
Crown. The Great Pyramid of Cholula is the
largest pyramid known to exist in the world
today. The pyramid at first looks like a natural
hill surmounted by a church. This is the Iglesia
de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios (Church of Our
Lady of Remedies), which was built by
the Spanish in colonial times (1594) on top of
the prehispanic temple. The church is a major
Catholic pilgrimage destination, and the site is
also used for the celebration of indigenous
rites. Many ancient sites in Latin America are
found under modern Catholic holy sites, due to
the practice of the Catholic Church of
repurposing local religious sites.
