Amazing Archeological Discoveries at Monte Albán

The fascinating pre-Columbian archaeological site of Monte Albán, is located on a range of low mountains that rise above the central plain of the Valley of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. Mexico’s capital, Oaxaca City, is located about 9 kilometers east of Monte Albán. In addition to being one of the earliest Mesoamerica cities, Monte Albán served as the economic and socio-political center of the Zapotec civilization for almost a thousand years.
