金字塔頂端的教堂 Cholula, Puebla, Mexico
教堂 Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios (Church of Our Lady of Remedies) 興建於西班牙殖民時期；西元 1594年, 教堂的基底看起來像一座小山丘，這座山丘卻是一座不折不扣，原住民用來崇拜神明的金字塔。
雖然墨西哥各地都發掘出天主教堂底下的古代文明，但是直接將天主教堂建設在金字塔頂端的情形，這還是唯一的。
喬盧拉金字塔 The Great Pyramid of Cholula 又稱為 Tlachihualtepetl ( 人造山 Artificial Mountain ) 是全世界最大的一座金字塔（神殿）古蹟。喬盧拉金字塔高 55 公尺，四方型邊長各 400 公尺，是原住民祭祠羽蛇神 Quetzalcoatl的場地。
Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios (Church of Our Lady of Remedies), also known as the Santuario de la Virgen de los Remedios (Sanctuary of the Virgin of Remedies), which was built by the Spanish in colonial times (1594) on top of the prehispanic temple and pyramid.
The church is a major Catholic pilgrimage destination, and the site is also used for the celebration of indigenous rites. Many ancient sites in Latin America are found under modern Catholic holy sites, due to the practice of the Catholic Church repurposing local religious sites.
The Great Pyramid of Cholula, also known as Tlachihualtepetl, is a huge complex located in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. It is the largest archaeological site of a pyramid (temple) in the New World. The pyramid stands 55 metres (180 ft) above the surrounding plain, and in its final form it measured 400 by 400 metres (1,300 by 1,300 ft).
