Cholula significa "Lugar de los que huyeron" o "Agua que cae en un lugar de huida". Se trata de un importante asentamiento prehispánico localizado en el estado de Puebla que goza de una ocupación ininterrumpida hasta nuestros días; en el subsuelo guarda los vestigios de los primeros grupos sedentarios de la región, los que se ubicaron, por el año 500 a.c., en las margenes de antiguas lagunas. Durante el Horizonte Clásico (0 a 850 d.С.) Cholula se desarrolla a la par con Teotihuacán y toma de éste el Talud-Tablero
aunque le imprime un sello propio; por ejemplo, al talud lo concibe inclinado y con una especie de escapulario grabado y, aI tablero sencillo de Teotihuacán le aplica un doble marco. Es durante este periodo cuando los cholultecas construyen la Gran Pirámide, impresionante monumento de 350 m. por lado y 66 m. de alto que guarda en su interior los restos de innumerables edificios y adosamientos. El gran número de templos de Cholula construidos durante el Clásico la convierten en una ciudad sagrada, visitada en procesiones por todos los pueblos de las distintas regiones del ámbito mesoamericano. En el Posclásico (850 a 1521 d.С.) llegan los olmecas-xicalancas y posteriormente Quetzalcóatl con los tolteca-chichimecas; éstos últimos marcan un nuevo auge y desarrollo en la ciudad; se
abandona la Gran Pirámide y se construyen nuevos templos en el área que ocupa el actual convento de San Gabriel Cholula. Hoy día, la ciudad mantiene su función religiosa pero, además, es un importante centro alfarero creador de la cerámica
policroma cholulteca tan apreciada en su época y admirada en la actualidad.

English:Cholula, "Place of those who fled" or "Water that falls in the place of flight", is an
important prehispanic settlement located in the state of Puebla. It boasts an uninterrupted occupation up to the present time. The remains of the first sedentary groups of the region dating from 500 A.D., are found in the subsoil on the banks of ancient lagoons.Cholula developed parallel with Teotihuacan during the Horizon Classic (0 to 850 A.D.), adopting the Slope-Panel architectural form from it and imprinting it with its own mark. Some examples include the curved slope with projecting hanging rectangles, and the application of a double frame to the simple panel from Teotihuacan. It was during this period that the Cholultecas constructed the Great Pyramid, an impressive monument measuring 350 meters on each side and 66 meters high, which guards the remains of innumerable buildings and additions in its interior. The great number of temples of Cholula during the Classic period converted it into a sacred city, which would be visited by processions from all the nations throughout the distinct regions of Mesoamerica. The Olmecs-Xicalanes arrived with the Postclassic period (850 to 1521) and afterwards Quetzalcóatl with the Toltec-Chichimecs
which would mark a new growth and development of the city. The Great Pyramid was abandoned and new temples were built in the area where the present Cholula convent is located. At present, the city maintains its religious position
but in addition, it is an important pottery center, creator of the Cholultec polychrome ceramic so valued in its time and still admired today.
