Ixcateopan de Cuauhtémoc

Town in the Mexican state of Guerrero

Ixcateopan de Cuauhtémoc is the head town of the municipality of Ixcateopan de Cuauhtémoc, located in isolated, rugged mountains in the northern part of the Mexican state of Guerrero. According to tradition, it is the final resting place of Aztec Emperor Cuauhtémoc, whose alleged remains were found under the parish church here in the mid-20th century. This church has been converted into a museum with displays a number of pre-Hispanic artifacts, offerings left in honor of the emperor and the alleged remains of Cuauhtémoc himself. This has been refuted by later research and by a Judging Commission of the Mexican government in 1976.
