This area was occupied in the contemporary period of Monte Albán, from 750 B.C to 1,000 A.D.

Its name comes from the Zapotec words "danni" which means mount or hill and "zu" meaning "organ cactus", that is "Cerro del Cacto" (Organ Cactus Hill).

Must see Buildings

The most interesting feature in the site is the gallery of carved stone bas-reliefs, which represents ball players with pre-Hispanic outfits, as well as the presentation of the four probable Gods of Fire.
