El Tajín

A part of the Classic Veracruz culture, El Tajín flourished from 600 to 1200 AD and during this time numerous temples, palaces, ballcourts, and pyramids were built. The city fell, in 1230 A.D. The site is located in Mexico in the highlands of the municipality of Papantla in modern-day Veracruz, not far from the city of Poza Rica, which lies northwest of the city of Veracruz.

This University of Northern Iowa collection contains photographs of the Mexican Pre-Hispanic site El Tajín. The collection is a subset of the larger Mexican Pre-Hispanic Sites Image Gallery.
