Sumario:This work takes up research data from several years ago, from the end of the cent ury to be more precise; it deals with the sunrise registration during dates as solstices and equinoxes, among ot hers, that match pre-Hispanic festivities in turn. Registration was carried out from the entrance of the C hurch of The Sacromonte, located at the top of a hill, in the town of Amecameca, State of Mexico. This observati on showed the existence of a calendar’s horizon, where the Sun marks the seasons along the geographic landmarks, and where places of worship of pre-Hispanic times have been found in the high mountains as well as som e modern remains.
