Papantla (Spanish:[paˈpantla]ⓘ) is a city and municipality located in the north of the Mexican state of Veracruz, in the Sierra Papanteca range and on the Gulf of Mexico.[1] The city was founded in the 13th century by the Totonacs and has dominated the Totonacapan region of the state since then. The region is famed for vanilla, which occurs naturally in this region, the Danza de los Voladores and the El Tajín archeological site, which was named a World Heritage Site.[2] Papantla still has strong communities of Totonacs who maintain the culture and language.[3] The city contains a number of large scale murals and sculptures done by native artist Teodoro Cano García, which honor the Totonac culture.[4] The name Papantla is from Nahuatl and most often interpreted to mean "place of the papanes" (a species of crow). This meaning is reflected in the municipality's coat of arms.[1][2]
