Xochicalco
Xochicalco (Nahuatl pronunciation: [ʃotʃiˈkaɬko]) is a pre-Columbian archaeological site in the Municipality of Miacatlán in the western part of the Mexican state of Morelos. The name Xochicalco may be translated from Nahuatl as in the (place of the) house of Flowers. The site is located 38 km southwest of Cuernavaca, about 76 miles by road from Mexico City. The site is open to visitors all week, from 10 am to 5 pm, although access to the observatory is only allowed after noon. The apogee of Xochicalco came after the fall of Teotihuacan and it has been speculated that Xochicalco may have played a part in the fall of the Teotihuacan empire.

Of special interest are sculptured reliefs on the sides of some buildings. The Temple of the Feathered Serpent has fine stylized depictions of that deity in a style which includes apparent influences of Teotihuacan and Maya art. It has been speculated that Xochicalco may have had a community of artists from other parts of Mesoamerica.
Other monuments at the site include several other step-pyramid temples, palaces, three ballcourts, sweat-baths, an unusual row of circular altars, and a cave with steps carved down into it. The site also has some free-standing sculptured stelae; others were removed from their original location and are now on display in the INAH museum in Mexico City and at the site museum.
[edit] History of Exploration
The ruins were first described by explorer Antonio Alzate in 1777. Alexander von Humboldt published illustrations and a description of Xochicalco in 1810. Emperor Maximilian of Mexico visited the ruins. The Temple of the Feathered Serpent was restored by Mexican archaeologist Leopoldo Batres in 1910. Major archaeological excavations and further restorations were done in a project from the 1940s through the 1960s by Eduardo Noguera and César Saenz. Jaime Litvak King also worked at the site. In 1976 archaeologist Kenneth Hirth of Pennsylvania State University began a multi-season fieldwork project in which he mapped the entire site and conducted excavations of houses and obsidian workshops. In 1988 a large-scale program of excavation of monumental architecture was initiated by Norberto González Crespo and Silvia Garza of the INAH. A new museum was built to house the spectacular finds of this project.

Zona arqueológica Xochicalco en el Estado de Morelos
Video de Las Pirámides de Xochicalco
Entre las zonas más atractivas del municipio de Temixco se encuentra Xochicalco, en donde está una zona arqueológica compuesta con algunas pirámides y un juego de pelota muy tradicional que fue la diversión de los habitantes en siglos pasados. Se trata de una ciudad con una gran densidad de construcción de toda Mesoamérica en donde existen elementos arquitectónicos culturales e históricos como templos que fueron construidos sobre plataformas o basamentos piramidales, espacios cerrados alrededor de una plaza o patio, algunos edificios con funciones especiales. Es elemental señalar que las zonas interiores muestran un gran desarrollo en cuestión de arquitectura, debido a que existen varios salones, pórticos y galerías con múltiples entradas.
Cuando se construyeron los museos de la zona, se utilizaron materiales convensionales pero fuertes como pidras y adobes, mientras que lo que se usó para recubrirlos fue el estuco, el cual consiste en una mezcla de cal, arena y agua, misma que ayudó a dar un mejor aspecto a las construcciones, además de hacerlas más fuertes. Xochicalco se caracteriza por tener elementos arquitectónicos llamativos en donde se encuentran los basamentos y plataformas en un talud, como u muro inclinado que fue coronado por dos muros rectos, en el que el talud siempre es de mayor altura que los paramentos juntos. Xochicalco es un lugar de gran atracción de personas que deseean conocer el tipo de construcciones pasadas que en la actualidad siguen de pie y tiene una historia muy interesante.
Los servicios disponibles en la zona arqueológica de Xochicalco son que cuenta con un estacionamiento, sanitarios, guía al cual se le debe pagar para hace el recorrido con las personas que lo soliciten. El acceso a dicha zona es por la autopista del Sol hasta llegar a la caseta a la altura de Tequesquitengo, después dirigirse a Alpuyeca que es un poblado al que también se puede llegar por la carretera libre México – Acapulco.
