The second largest pyramid in the park. It mimics the contours of Cerro Gordo, the mountain in the distance to the north. It was built between 100 and 450 AD, covering up an earlier temple, with a more interesting design than the larger Pyramid of the Sun. It was used as a stage for performing ritual sacrifices and ceremonies in honor of the Great Goddess of Teotihuacan.
The Pyramid of the Moon is the second-largest pyramid in Teotihuacan, after the Pyramid of the Sun, and located in modern-day San Martín de las Pirámides, Mexico. It is found in the western part of the ancient city of Teotihuacan and mimics the contours of the mountain Cerro Gordo, just north of the site. Cerro Gordo may have been called Tenan, which in Nahuatl, means "mother or protective stone". The Pyramid of the Moon covers a structure older than the Pyramid of the Sun which existed prior to 200 AD.
