From San Francisco Cathedral, on the largest Aztec Pyramid, looking over Cholula, Mexico, 1901
From San Francisco Cathedral, on the largest Aztec Pyramid, looking over Cholula, Mexico, 1901. A boy and his dog perched high on the Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de los Remedios (Church of Our Lady of the Remedies). The Catholic church was built by the Spanish in 1594, on top of the pre-Columbian Tlachihualtepetl pyramid in Cholula, Puebla. The caption may refer to the church of San Francisco Acatepec, built in Cholula in the same period, but not constructed on a pyramid, and not a cathedral. Stereocard by Underwood & Underwood

This print captures a mesmerizing scene from Cholula, Mexico in 1901. Standing proudly on the largest Aztec Pyramid, known as Tlachihualtepetl, is the magnificent Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de los Remedios (Church of Our Lady of the Remedies). Built by the Spanish in 1594, this Catholic church symbolizes the fusion of pre-Columbian history and Christianity. In this remarkable image, we see a young boy accompanied by his loyal canine companion perched high atop the pyramid's summit.
