Tula, called Tollan-Xicocotitlan in Nahuatl, was the capital of the Toltec culture between the decline of Teotihuacan and the rise of Tenochtitlan. The site's signature image is the row of four basalt warrior figures, the Atlantes, standing atop the Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl. They are reported at roughly 4 to 4.6 metres tall, and scholars believe they served as columns holding up the roof of a temple at the summit.
Querétaro's historic centre was inscribed by UNESCO in 1996. Its aqueduct was built under the Marqués de la Villa del Villar del Águila, with construction running from 1726 and water first flowing on 17 October 1738. It has 74 arches over a length of about 1,280 metres; sources give different maximum heights, from about 23 to 28.4 metres. A popular story says he paid for it for love of a Capuchin nun, and that part is tradition rather than documented fact.
Querétaro also mattered politically: the 1810 independence conspiracy met here, and the city's history is tied to the Corregidora, Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez.
