The Tetitla compound, located in the Teotihuacan Archaeological Zone outside Mexico City, is renowned for its magnificent pre-Spanish murals, dating back to between 600 and 700 A.D. Restorers from the National Institute of Anthropology and History have undertaken this work.

The conservation work has thus far focused on 8 of the 16 murals, which are in particularly damaged condition from the constant battering of sun, wind, dust, moisture, and all-around hard living.
