Mitla was
still occupied and functioning as the main religious center when the Spanish
arrived in the 1520s.
The high priest, called the Uija-tào, resided at Mitla,
and the Spanish likened him to the pope.
Nobles buried at Mitla were destined
to become “cloud people” who would intercede on behalf of the population below.
At that time the urban center covered an area of 1 to 2 square kilometres.
