Tula spread over a huge area where
tens of thousands of people lived
during the 400 years of habitation,
which peaked in the year 1000 AD
when Tula was the dominant city in
Central Mexico.
Tula-like architecture has been found
by archaeologists as far south as
Chichen Itza in the Yucatan and it is
not known whether this was a result of
trade or subjugation.
The plan to the left shows the classic
Mesoamerican city layout: ball courts,
a large plaza surrounded by
Pyramidal platforms centered by a
low altar.

Tula worshipped the rain god
Tlaloc depicted left in a sculpture
displayed in the museum
The Toltec culture of Tula appears to
have been warlike judging by the
monument to the warriors which
occupies the highest point in the city
and was once covered by a huge
roof. The warrior statues pictured
right were columns that supported a
roof. These statues are thought by
archaeologists to represent historic
figures and one is believed to be the
mysterious Topilzin Quetzalcoatl, a
living god of myth and legend.
