Quiahuitzlan is an abandoned Amerindian settlement in Veracruz state. Owing to its importance in the Spanish-Mexica war and the mausoleum style tombs, the site has attracted interest from tourists, historians, and archaeologists.^[1]

Quiahuitzlan was invaded in the classical period by the Toltecs and invaded by the Mexica in the Postclassical period.^[2] The settlement is located on a large hill that overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. The first Spanish colony in Mexico, Villa Rica de la Veracruz, was founded near this settlement by Hernán Cortés.^[3]
