La Citadelle devait servir de résidence au chef suprême de la ville. Quatre grands murs de 390 m de long, surmontés de 15 pyramides, entourent une imposante esplanade dont le monument principal est le temple de Quetzalcóatl. |

The Citadel
is a large architectual complex which covers an area of 160 000 sq. m. The group is surrounded by what is called, the Great Platform, a quadrangular structure on which 15 pyramidal bases are found. The four to the west have stairways leading to the Avenue of the Dead. The rest give way to the Great Plaza and were united by a perimeter wall which converted this group into a great walled site. Three residential groups are also found within this complex: the Temple of Quetzalcóatl or the Plumed Serpent, a large public plaza with an altar at the center and stairs leading towards the four cardinal points and a Temple, called the South Building, located to the south of the plaza. |

Access to the Great Plaza is limited by a platform with rooms and stairways. The NW Group, built during the apogee of the city, is located at the northwest corner of the Great Plaza and connects directly with the North Group. |
