EDITORS COMMENTS
La Quemada: A Glimpse into the Past - Ruins of a City Between Zacatecas and Villa Nueva, Mexico (1827) La Quemada, also known as Los Edificios or the Village of Colotlan, is a fascinating and enigmatic set of ruins located between the Mexican states of Zacatecas and Villa Nueva. This ancient city, which dates back to the 1820s, has been a source of intrigue and wonder for Mexicans and visitors alike. The ruins of La Quemada are a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of central and south America. The name "La Quemada" translates to "the burnt one," a reference to the legend that the city was destroyed by fire. However, the true cause of its demise remains a mystery. The ruins consist of several impressive buildings, some of which still stand tall despite the passage of time. The architecture of these structures is a unique blend of indigenous and European influences, reflecting the complex cultural history of the region. The scenery surrounding La Quemada is equally captivating. The ruins are nestled in a picturesque valley, with rolling hills and lush vegetation providing a stunning backdrop. The area is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and adventurers. Despite the allure of La Quemada, the ruins remain relatively unknown to the wider world. For Mexicans, however, they are an important part of their national heritage. The ruins serve as a reminder of the country's complex and rich history, and continue to inspire curiosity and wonder in all who visit. This photograph, taken in 1827, offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment when these impressive structures were still in use. It is a reminder of the fleeting nature of human civilization and the enduring power of history to captivate and inspire us.
