Unlike Monte Alban, Atzompa was less of a monumental center and more of a private exclusive family residence. Built during an expansive stage when Monte Alban was creating strategic satellite cities and settelments, Atzompa was a perfect location to create. Within sight of the Zapotec capital, Atzompa overlooks the valley and the lucrative trading routes and farmland in the valley below.More details in the near future.

This museum houses pieces excavated from the Atzompa archaeological site. There's not a ton of stuff, but the pieces displayed are absolutely stunning in size, complexity, and skill required to make them.
