It sits on the west side of the Avenue of the Dead—the direction of the setting sun and of the underworld. The buildings constructed on this side of the avenue tend to share a symbolic logic that sets them apart from those on the east. In the West Plaza Complex, a pattern found throughout Teotihuacan becomes especially clear: the city didn't demolish what already existed—it covered it with something new. This superposition is a documented example of how Teotihuacan continually assigned new meanings to its own spaces over time: building over what came before without erasing it, adding new layers of meaning onto existing ones. What visitors see today is not a single building but a sequence of structures, stacked one on top of another across centuries, readable as strata.
