About Huixquilucan

Huixquilucan Municipality is one of the municipalities in State of Mexico, Mexico. It lies adjacent to the west facet of the Federal District and is a part of Greater Mexico City however independent of. The call Huixquilucan comes from Nahuatl meaning, area complete of edible thistles. Before the Spanish Conquest, the location changed into called Cuautlalpan or Sierra de Las Cruces, and changed into inhabited by way of the Otomis.

They at first lived in the highlands, gathering the plentiful plant life and searching rabbits, hares, armadillos, deer and raccoons. Several crude templos were discovered which have been dedicated to the gods Makata god of the mountains and Makame god of rain and fertility, represented with the aid of flowers. Adoratorios committed to a god known as Otontecutli are observed inside the caves, monoliths and sacred rocks of the upper elevations. These human beings were conquered a number of instances, such as with the aid of the Olmecs, the Nahuatlacs and by using the location of Tlacopan before being conquered by means of the Aztec Triple Alliance and then, of course, the Spaniards. Tradition states that the emperor Moctezuma Xocoyotzin appreciated the place so much that he had a palace constructed in what's now the community of Tecpan.
