The Great Pyramid of Cholula, also known as Tlachihualtepetl, is a huge complex located in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. It is the largest archaeological site of a pyramid in the New World, as well as the largest pyramid by volume known to exist in the world today. The adobe brick pyramid stands 55 metres above the surrounding plain, far shorter than the 137 metres of the Great Pyramid at Giza, but is much wider, in its final form measuring
450 by 450 metres, vs the Giza pyramid at 230 by 230 metres. The pyramid is a temple that traditionally has been viewed as having been dedicated to the god Quetzalcoatl. The architectural style of the building was linked closely to that of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico, although influence from the Gulf Coast also is evident, especially from El Tajín.
