Cholula: Long-lived urban and sacred landscapes
Cholula (site or historical name, not a self-designation for every ancient or living resident)
Successive monumental construction, ceramics and murals sit within a still-inhabited landscape. Cholula connects long urban histories with unequal colonial encounters without making one temple represent the whole population.
Communities, cities, and the evidence
Landscapes and regional connections
The valley's rivers and mountain margins supported local connections; the orientation point is not the extent of the ancient or modern city.
Political organization and community scale
Political and sacred institutions changed over many centuries; neither one pyramid nor one colonial account describes every resident.
Colonial transformation, living heritage, and modern reception
Colonial violence, changing alliances and religious reworking did not erase local communities. Contemporary living identities cannot be determined from an architectural phase.
INAH's accounts place the Great Pyramid within a layered urban sequence.
The archaeological and museum accounts describe painted and ceramic evidence beyond the pyramid silhouette.
The museum records registration of its collection in the public monuments system in 2015.

Prefer Indigenous institutions, national heritage authorities, accountable archaeological projects, academic editions and institutional museums. Attribute source titles, publishers, dates and stable links. Institutional accounts can disagree: heritage summaries are not neutral censuses, and names or visual styles cannot settle identity. Distinguish original observations, interpretations, transmitted traditions and modern conservation notices.
