This was an important Zapoteca place of worship. A distinguishing feature of these pyramids is that they were built without any mortar. Pieces of the pyramid were stacked and fitted together in such a way that no type of cement was needed - this is the such archeological site in Mexico I believe. The small pieces of stones were fitted together to form these pretty patterns (the cement seen in the pictures was added as part of the restoration process, but you can clearly see most stones have no cement between them).
