Introduction
The Calzada de los Muertos is the spine of Teotihuacán: some forty metres wide and two kilometres long, climbing north towards the Pyramid of the Moon. Its surface steps up in platforms and stairways, lined with temple platforms and elite compounds, with the Pyramid of the Sun rising just off the eastern side. The name comes from the Aztecs, who took these platforms for tombs; in fact they were mostly ceremonial and civic space. Walking the full length before climbing makes the city legible.
