After visiting Edifice K, we moved on to Pyramid C. Pyramid C is not as well preserved/restored as Pyramid B and stands alone. However, Pyramid C was (and is) taller than Pyramid B and has an amazing view of the site.
According to the INAH Plaque accompanying this pyramid, Pyramid C was the largest and most important pyramid at Tula. Pyramid C’s architectural design is similar to Teotihuacan’s Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon and suggests a cultural connection between the Teotihuacanos and the Toltecs. Archaeologists speculate that a temple sat on top of Pyramid C, but they do not know to which deity the pyramid was dedicated. The Adoratorio is aligned with Pyramid C’s stairway and was originally covered with bas-reliefs of warriors and other dignitaries, along with a Chac Mool on the structure’s upper part.
