The Pyramid of Cholula

 

The Pyramid looks like hill from the distance


The tallest pyramid in the world is the pyramid of Giza in Egypt. However the largest pyramid in terms of volume is the pyramid of Cholula in Puebla, Mexico. Cholula is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Mexico being inhabited since 2 Century BC.  It is 180 feet tall but is 1300 by 1300 feet wide making it the largest pyramid (in volume) in the world. After the city was conquered the Spanish built lots of churches in the city and one of the churches was built above the pyramid. Now from far  it looks like a hill with a church on top of it and there are parts that have been restored for the public.
