Tula, Mexico

Tula is a town of about 10,000 in Hidalgo State, central Mexico.

Nearby are the remains of the ancient city of the Toltecs in Mexico, also known as "Tula" or as "Tollan". Usually identified as the Toltec capital around 980 AD, the city was destroyed in 1168. Distinctive Toltec features here include a terraced pyramid, colonnaded buildings, and relief sculptures. Some of the architecture is similar to that at Chichén Itzá.
