Tzintzuntzan, located in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, is a historic town that served as the capital of the pre-Hispanic Purépecha (Tarascan) Empire. The name Tzintzuntzan comes from the Purépecha language, meaning "place of the hummingbirds."
The town is particularly notable for its archaeological site featuring distinctive yácatas (semi-circular pyramids) that showcase the architectural achievements of the Purépecha civilization. Today, Tzintzuntzan maintains its cultural significance through its well-preserved colonial-era structures, including the former Franciscan monastery complex of San Francisco, and its continuing tradition of indigenous crafts, particularly pottery and wood carving. The town plays an important role in preserving and displaying both pre-Hispanic and colonial Mexican cultural heritage.
