I began my tour from the iconic and most important church here, built on the base of the great pyramid in Cholula, Santuario Nuestra Señora de Los Remedios. It is free, and we need to climb to reach it. It’s worth-trip, because on the top you’ll get a panoramic view, and it’s breathtaking and picturesque where you can see the volcanic peaks of Popo, cityscape, Malinche, and even the Pico de Orizaba. The church has a yellow façade, which is flanked by two identical towers, like a common 16th-century Church, but inside it has a colorful neoclassical altar.

the 1st room : you’ll see ceramic, Cholula archeology, and the model of the pyramid.

2nd room : you’ll find the early postclassic (800–900 AD), the middle-upper postclassic (900–1521 AD), history when Spanish occupied Cholula.
