The third largest pyramid, and one of the most sacred temples in the complex. The sides of the structure are covered with stone heads associated with the later Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent. More than 100 possibly sacrificial victims were buried beneath the structure.
The Temple of the Feathered Serpent is the third largest pyramid at Teotihuacan, a pre-Columbian site in central Mexico. This pre-Columbian city rose around the first or second century BCE and its occupation prolonged through to the 600s or 700s. Early growth of the population was relatively quick, with an estimated population of 60,000-80,000 inhabitants; it is suggested that the population reached up to 100,000 by the 300s
