It was a great ceremonial city in about the year 500 ad., this center once ruled the entire region and collected tribute from the surrounding cities.

It is a must-see attraction, undoubtedly its splendor and precise design is one of the great things to admire in Mexico.

Monte Alban and its Danzantes (Dancers), is a group of nude human figures resembling feline attitudes between jaguars and Zapotec leaders. These figures carved in stone during the first period of Monte Alban, their meaning has been interpreted as shamans or prisoners of war, for the inhabitants of the city remains a mystery.
