The inhabitants of the Cacaxtla area were the Olmec-Xicalancas and they controlled the region of the Southern Valley of Tlaxcala and the Poblano Valley. They began their arrival around the year 400-500 A.D. and by the year 1200 there is no longer evidence of the Olmec-Xicalancas groups in the Nativitas Valley. In 1975 a discovery was made in this area, consisting of part of their murals. From that date onwards work began on the rescue of the architectural complex and its decorative elements.
