This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing the majestic Cholula Church standing proudly atop the ancient pyramid at Cholula. The Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de los Remedios, a Catholic church of great historical significance, was built on this sacred Mesoamerican site in the Mexican state of Puebla. The image showcases the remarkable fusion of two distinct cultures - Mesoamerican and European - as it juxtaposes an ancient pyramid dating back to the 3rd century BCE with a stunning colonial-era church that began construction in the 16th century. This harmonious blend symbolizes Mexico's rich heritage and its complex history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to a bygone era where spirituality intertwines with architectural grandeur.

Through this lens, we catch a glimpse into Mexico's cultural tapestry, where indigenous beliefs coexist alongside Catholicism. We are reminded of Quetzalcoatl, one of Mesoamerica's most revered gods whose spirit still lingers within these hallowed grounds. This print from Hulton Archive serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience throughout history while also inviting us to reflect on our shared past and appreciate the beauty born out of diverse
