Summary:	"As a religious center, Cholula was one of the most important cities of the high plateau of Mexico during the Classic, next to Teotihuacán. The authors seek to reconstruct the evolution and character of the city life prior to the conquest, as well as to pay attention to this pilgrimage center, whose power of attraction has been enriched through the centuries. The diverse sources for this study range from exhaustive documentary research on the written record of those who witnessed the splendor of the sixteenth century city to the exploration of material archaeological evidence, emphasizing the geography of the place as a preponderant factor. This book belongs to the Cities Series that seeks to deepen the knowledge of ancient Mesoamerican cities." "Como centro religioso, Cholula fue una de las ciudades más importantes del altiplano de México durante el Clásico, junto a Teotihuacán. Las autoras buscan reconstruir la evolución y carácter de la vida citadina de esta ciudad previa a la conquista, así como abonar a la comprensión de este centro de peregrinaje, cuyo poder de atracción se fue enriqueciendo a través de los siglos. Las fuentes diversas para este estudio van desde la exhaustiva investigación documental sobre el registro escrito de quienes atestiguaron el esplendor de la urbe del siglo XVI hasta la exploración de la evidencia arqueológica material, haciendo énfasis en la geografía del lugar como factor preponderante. Este libro pertenece a la Serie Ciudades que busca profundizar en el conocimiento de las antiguas urbes mesoamericanas."
