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.
