remains of altars at Malinalco, south of the city of Toluca in Mexico. The Aztecs conquered the area in the 1470s, and established here a sanctuary for their military elite, the Eagle and Jaguar warriors. The complex was built on the Cerro de los Idolos (Hill of the Idols), over an older ceremonial site. The main attraction of this archaeological site is the Cuauhcalli or House of Eagles, which is a building carved out of the side of the mountain. The area shows influences from the Teotihuacan culture, the Toltecs, Matlatzincas and Aztecs
