Monte Albán is a large pre-Columbian archaeological site in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. The site is located on a low mountainous range rising above the plain in the central section of the Valley of Oaxaca where the latter's northern Etla, eastern Tlacolula, and southern Zimatlán/Ocotlán or Valle Grande branches meet. The present-day state capital Oaxaca City is located approximately 9 km east of Monte Albán. The monumental center of Monte Albán is the Main Plaza, which measures approximately 300 meters by 200 meters.
