It is located in the northern part of Teotihuacan and mimics the contours of the mountain Cerro Gordo, just north of the site.

The Pyramid of the Moon covers a structure older than the Pyramid of the Sun which existed prior to 200 Anno Domini AD . The Pyramid s construction between 200 and 450 AD completed the bilateral symmetry of the temple complex.
