Teotihuacán - Moon Pyramid Pirámide de la Luna

At the north end of the square stands the imposing Pirámide de la Luna (Moon Pyramid). Its front-facing side is made up of a five-storey pyramidal building in the talud-tablero style. The wide flight of steps leads to the actual pyramid itself, which consists of four staggered storeys. The ground area measures 140 3 150 m (460 3 490 ft), while the height reaches 46 m (151 ft). Although 17 m (56 ft) lower than the Sun Pyramid, its summit is on the same level thanks to the higher terrain. The steps merely lead up to the third level. From the summit of the Moon Pyramid there is also a fine view across the whole of the site.

During the dry season a son et lumière performance takes place six times a week.
