Zapotec architecture. The Zapotec civilization of
Meso-America produced buildings that were similar to those of the
Maya, Toltec,
Aztec, and other groups, with a clear distinction between the substructure and superstructure. The religious centre of the Mixtec-Zapotec peoples in the valley of Oaxaca, Mexico, was the Palace of the Columns, Mitla (
c.1000), with an impressive platform the walls of which were decorated with elaborate geometrical patterns.
